Prohibits public school staff members from encouraging students in their social transition to being perceived as a member of the opposite biological sex
HB 2580 prohibits public school staff from supporting students' social transition to being perceived as the opposite biological sex. It requires staff to report student requests for such support to principals within 24 hours, and principals must notify parents within 72 hours. The bill bans staff from using alternative pronouns/names, discussing gender transition with students, or affirming a student's gender identity at school. Violations could lead to staff termination, license revocation, or parental lawsuits seeking damages or injunctions.
