Public schools; require MDE and school districts to teach two genders as determined by chromosomes.
SB 2532 would require Mississippi public schools and the state education department to teach that biological gender is determined solely by chromosomes (XY for males, XX for females), directly affecting all K-12 students and educators in public schools. Key provisions include mandating this curriculum, requiring annual compliance reports to the governor and legislature, and allowing private lawsuits (including by minors) to enforce the law with damages and attorney fees. The bill also authorizes the Mississippi Attorney General to enforce compliance. Note: This bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and has not become law.
