This bill defines "gender identity" and "sexual orientation".
Currently, schools are required to notify parents of certain information related to the school's human sexuality instruction and make all curriculum materials used in the human sexuality instruction available for public inspection.
This bill expands those requirements to also include any curriculum, material, test, survey, questionnaire, activity, or instruction of any kind related to sexual orientation and gender identity.
The bill prohibits school districts from providing false or misleading information to a parent or guardian relating to the student's gender identity or intention to transition to a gender other then that listed on the student's birth certificate. Additionally, the bill requires district and charter school employees to report any request to be addressed by a name or pronoun different than the name or pronoun used for such student's registration to school administration which must report such information to the student's parent or guardian.
The bill provides authorization for civil action for any violation of this section with outlined compensations.
