Prohibit public college from using preferred pronoun applications

HB 686 would ban public colleges from including questions about preferred gender pronouns on employment or student admission forms. This law directly affects institutions that currently ask applicants to state their pronouns as part of their application process. By prohibiting these specific fields, the bill removes the requirement for individuals to disclose their pronouns when applying for jobs or enrollment. The measure focuses solely on restricting how applications are structured rather than addressing broader issues of gender identity.
