Restoring Biological Truth in Government Act
This bill requires all federal executive agencies (including departments, military branches, and regulatory bodies) to remove any questions about gender identity from official forms and surveys. It mandates that sex/gender fields on such forms only offer "male" or "female" as options, and agencies must reject submissions with other choices. The law defines "sex" as biological reproductive capacity (male/female), explicitly stating gender identity is separate from sex. Agencies must implement these changes within 180 days of enactment, guided by OMB directives. The policy directly affects how all federal agencies collect demographic data from the public.
