A bill for an act allowing a person to raise, guide, and instruct a child in a manner consistent with the child’s sex.

This Iowa bill amends child welfare laws to exempt parents and guardians from being accused of abuse or endangerment when raising children consistent with their sex. It specifically protects actions like using a child's sex-consistent pronouns, seeking mental health care to support a child's sex, making medical decisions based on sex, and refusing gender transition procedures for minors. The exemption applies to definitions of child abuse, endangerment, foster care licensing, custody determinations, and adoption placement decisions. It ensures these parenting choices cannot be used against families in legal proceedings or licensing reviews.
