AN ACT PROHIBITING STATE AGENCIES FROM TAKING CERTAIN ACTIONS AGAINST PARENTS AND GUARDIANS WHO CHOOSE TO RAISE CHILDREN CONSISTENT WITH THEIR BIOLOGICAL SEX.

HB 6178 prohibits state agencies, including the Department of Children and Families, from investigating child abuse/neglect claims, removing children from homes, or denying foster/adoptive placements based *solely* on a parent or guardian raising a child consistent with the child's biological sex. It directly affects parents, guardians, and state agencies by preventing actions tied to this specific parenting choice. The bill's key provision explicitly bans such agency actions when the sole basis is the parent's decision to raise the child in alignment with their biological sex. This is a policy change that would alter how state agencies handle child welfare cases involving parental choices related to biological sex.
