HR 4373 United States House · 119th Congress

Equality in Laws Act

HR 4373, the Equality in Laws Act, requires updating federal law titles in the U.S. Code to use gender-neutral language where the meaning remains unchanged. It directs the Law Revision Counsel to replace masculine pronouns (like "he," "him," "his") and feminine pronouns (like "she," "her," "hers") with neutral terms such as "they," "the individual," or "their" in all applicable legal titles. This applies to both existing federal laws and future amendments, ensuring language does not exclude any gender. The bill specifically targets language that would not alter the substance of the laws, focusing solely on updating terminology to be inclusive.
