HR 9067 United States House · 119th Congress

To amend the Communications Act of 1934 to provide for a gender identity content descriptor for video programming, and for other purposes.

This bill directs the Federal Communications Commission to create a new content descriptor for video programming that depicts or discusses gender identity, transgender identity, or non-binary identity. The primary goal is to ensure this descriptor is displayed on children's programming, such as shows rated TV-Y, TV-Y7, or TV-G, so parents can use it with existing parental control tools like the V-chip. The legislation requires the FCC to first check if the voluntary TV Parental Guidelines have already added this descriptor; if they have not, the Commission must establish and enforce the new rating system. A key provision clarifies that the bill does not ban or censor any video content, focusing instead on labeling and parental guidance.
