Bill Summary
CONCERNING NON-LEGAL NAME CHANGES FOR STUDENTS IN SCHOOLS.
AI Summary
This bill requires public schools in Colorado to address students by their chosen name, which is any name a student requests to be known as that differs from their legal name to reflect their gender identity. The bill prohibits the knowing or intentional use of a name other than a student's chosen name, which is considered discriminatory. Local education providers must implement a written policy outlining how they will honor a student's request to use their chosen name, in compliance with federal privacy laws. The bill also adds the use of a student's chosen name to the list of requirements that the state board of education cannot waive.
