Requiring employees of school districts and postsecondary educational institutions to use the name and pronouns consistent with a student's biological sex and birth certificate and authorizing a cause of action for violations therefor.

SB 76, the "Given Name Act," requires school district and postsecondary institution employees in Kansas to use a student's name and pronouns matching their biological sex and birth certificate, unless the student's parent provides written permission. It directly affects minor students (under 18) and protects employees who decline to use preferred names/pronouns without parental consent. The bill authorizes students or affected individuals to sue for violations, seeking injunctive relief, damages, or attorney fees. It does not apply to students over 18 or override parental rights regarding their child's name.
