The "Given Name Act" enacts new provisions in Louisiana law regarding the use of names and pronouns for students and employees in public schools. It prohibits public school governing authorities from adopting policies that allow for the use of names or pronouns inconsistent with an individual's biological sex or legal name. The act defines key terms such as "employee," "legal name," "parent," "sex," and "student," and establishes that employees and students cannot be compelled to use names or pronouns that do not align with their legal names or biological sex. Additionally, it provides for corrective actions and remedies for parents and students if these provisions are violated.

The act also mandates that each public school governing authority must adopt policies to implement these provisions and ensures that employees are not penalized for adhering to the law. Furthermore, it includes a civil liability clause, allowing individuals affected by violations to seek legal recourse, including monetary damages and attorney fees. The act specifies that charter schools are also subject to these regulations, ensuring consistency across public education institutions in Louisiana.
