HB 1270 prohibits Tennessee public schools, school districts (LEAs), and their staff from requiring students or employees to provide or use preferred pronouns. It also prevents schools from disciplining individuals for refusing to use preferred pronouns or for using legal names/pronouns consistent with a person’s sex. The bill requires teachers to obtain parental consent before using a name or pronoun inconsistent with a minor student’s sex, and it allows students, staff, or parents to sue schools for violations. These provisions apply directly to all public school students, teachers, and employees in Tennessee.
