Requires DOC to assign transgender inmate to State correctional facility based on inmate's gender identity and use inmate's preferred gender pronoun.

New Jersey's A1975 bill requires the Department of Corrections to assign transgender, non-binary, and intersex inmates to state correctional facilities based on their gender identity or expression - not their sex assigned at birth or anatomy. During initial classification, staff must ask inmates about their gender identity, expression, and preferred pronouns, with no discipline for refusing to answer. The bill also mandates that all correctional staff, volunteers, and contractors use the inmate's preferred pronouns, and consistent failure to do so may result in disciplinary action under established rules.
