The bill, known as the "Given Name Act," mandates that employees of school districts and postsecondary educational institutions must use names and pronouns that align with a student's biological sex as indicated on their birth certificate, unless they have written permission from the student's parent. It removes the previous authorization for a cause of action and instead provides for the submission of civil complaints for violations of this requirement. The bill emphasizes the importance of free speech and academic freedom in educational settings, asserting that the use of pronouns and names is a matter of public concern.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that no employee or student shall face adverse actions for refusing to use names or pronouns inconsistent with an individual's biological sex. It allows parents of students who believe their rights have been violated to file a written complaint with the school board, which must investigate and respond within 30 days. The bill also clarifies definitions for terms such as "minor," "parent," and "student," ensuring that the provisions apply specifically to unemancipated individuals under 18 years of age.
