Bill > HR4138

This bill prohibits heads of executive agencies from asking about gender identity on any form or survey and requires that only male and female options be provided for questions about sex or gender. Specifically, the bill defines "female" and "male" based on reproductive systems and their potential to produce eggs or sperm, and explicitly states that gender identity is not synonymous with sex. The legislation would require agencies to reject any form or survey that provides a gender response other than male or female, and mandates that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issue guidance on implementing these requirements within 180 days of the act's enactment. The bill applies to a broad range of federal entities, including the Executive Office of the President, executive departments, independent regulatory agencies, military departments, and government corporations. The definitions provided in the bill are notably restrictive, narrowly defining gender and sex in biological terms and explicitly excluding concepts like gender identity, gender expression, and gender roles from official recognition in government documentation.
