Bill Summary
Provides relative to the use of certain names and pronouns for students
AI Summary
This bill, known as the "Given Name Act," aims to uphold the constitutional rights of parents to make decisions regarding the care, upbringing, and education of their children in the public school system. It requires public school employees to use the student's name and pronouns that align with their biological sex, as listed on their birth certificate, unless the student's parent provides written permission to do otherwise. The bill also allows teachers to object to using pronouns for a student based on their religious or moral convictions, and in such cases, the student's parent may request a transfer to another teacher. Additionally, the bill prohibits employees from discussing a student's preferred name and pronouns with other students, and it exempts charter schools from this statutory requirement.
