HR 10319: Gender Delusion Disqualification Act

The Gender Delusion Disqualification Act would amend federal employment laws to prohibit individuals diagnosed with gender dysphoria from holding specific government jobs or credentials that require meeting mental health standards. The bill defines "covered positions" as executive agency roles where regulations already mandate mental health criteria for appointment or continued service, and extends this exclusion to any federal license or certificate issued under similar conditions. Agencies would be required to issue implementing regulations within 180 days of enactment to identify which specific positions and certifications fall under these new restrictions. The legislation explicitly states that it does not impose additional standards on employees in roles that do not currently have established mental health requirements.

SB 1106: Health occupations: mental health care professionals; limited license option for mental health counselors; eliminate. Repeals sec. 18109 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.18109).

This bill removes a specific legal provision that previously allowed mental health counselors to obtain a limited license to practice in Michigan. By repealing Section 18109 of the Public Health Code, the legislation eliminates the existing framework for this particular licensing option. The change directly affects the regulatory environment for mental health counselors and the state's licensing board, which will no longer be able to issue these limited licenses under the old rules.

HR 9798: Employer Health Plan Flexibility Act

The Employer Health Plan Flexibility Act would allow certain employer-sponsored group health plans to opt out of the Affordable Care Act's requirement to cover specific Essential Health Benefits. This exemption applies to plans governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and would take effect for plan years starting on or after January 1, 2028. While exempt from those specific coverage mandates, the bill explicitly states that employers must still comply with other federal rules, including those regarding mental health parity, nondiscrimination, and preventive services. To ensure transparency, employers claiming this exemption must annually inform their employees about the benefits included in their plan and identify any Essential Health Benefits that are not covered.
