Restoring Biological Truth to the Workplace Act
HR 4554, the Restoring Biological Truth to the Workplace Act, prohibits employers from taking adverse actions (like firing or demoting) against employees who express views about biological sex being binary or use single-sex facilities (such as bathrooms). It directly affects employees who discuss biological sex or request single-sex areas, and employers who might retaliate. Key provisions make it unlawful to punish such expression or requests, explicitly removing the defense that the practice is "job-related" or "necessary for business." The bill aims to protect workplace expression and access related to biological sex under existing civil rights law.
