Bill > S3318

This bill, the Safeguarding Honest Speech Act, prohibits the use of federal funds to implement, administer, or enforce measures that require federal employees or contractors to use an individual's preferred pronouns if they are incompatible with the person's biological sex, or to use a name other than the person's legal name when referring to them. The bill provides a private right of action for employees or contractors aggrieved by such violations, allowing them to seek remedies such as injunctive relief, compensatory and punitive damages, and attorney's fees. The key terms "person" and "sex" are defined in the bill, with sex being based solely on a person's reproductive biology and genetics at birth.
