Enacts provisions relating to the use of identifying pronouns by school employees and independent contractors

HB 1405 establishes rules for how school employees and independent contractors may use pronouns when referring to students. The bill prohibits staff from using pronouns that do not match a student's biological sex unless they have written permission from the student's parent. It also allows employees to decline using specific pronouns if doing so conflicts with their religious or moral beliefs. Finally, the law requires every public school and school board to create a policy that follows these guidelines.
