Bill > HR4554

This bill proposes to amend Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to protect employees from workplace discrimination based on expressions that describe, assert, or reinforce the binary or biological nature of sex. Specifically, the bill would make it an unlawful employment practice for employers to take adverse actions against employees who engage in "covered expression" - which includes speech, writing, depictions, or pronoun usage that relates to biological sex - both inside and outside the workplace. The bill also protects employees who request or use single-sex areas like bathrooms or changing rooms, and explicitly states that an employer cannot defend such discriminatory actions by claiming they are job-related or necessary for business purposes. Additionally, the bill expands anti-retaliation protections to cover these new provisions, meaning employees cannot be punished for exercising these rights. The legislation appears aimed at protecting individuals who want to express traditional views about biological sex and gender, potentially in response to evolving workplace policies regarding gender identity and expression.
