AI Summary

This bill, effective July 1, 2026, prohibits state employees, appointees, or contractors from stating their "preferred pronouns" in any official communication, which includes text messages, emails, letters, and faxes. "Personal pronouns" are defined as words referring to an individual's sex or gender, such as "he," "him," "she," "her," "they," and "them," as well as non-standard replacements, but specifically excludes "Mr.," "Mrs.," "Ms.," or "Miss" unless used in a specific way by someone to refer to themselves contrary to their birth sex. A first violation of this prohibition will result in a warning, while a subsequent violation will lead to immediate removal or termination of contract. The bill also declares an emergency, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
