AI Summary
This bill prohibits public school employees from using a name or pronoun to address or refer to a student that does not match the information on the student's birth certificate, unless the student's parent or legal guardian provides written permission. The key provisions of the bill are the definition of "public school employee" and the two prohibitions - one on using a name that does not match the student's birth certificate, and one on using a pronoun that does not correspond to the gender listed on the birth certificate, without parental or legal guardian approval.
