Reject Latinx Act
HR 2906, the "Reject Latinx Act," prohibits U.S. federal executive agencies from using the terms "latinx" or "latin-x" (or variations) in any official public document. This applies to all documents produced on or after a 30-day effective date following the bill's enactment. The bill directly affects federal agencies responsible for creating public-facing communications, such as reports, forms, or websites. It does not restrict the terms in private or non-governmental contexts. The law mandates this language change for all new agency documents but does not require altering existing documents.
