Prohibiting Parental Secrecy Policies In Schools Act of 2023
This bill requires each state, in order to receive specified federal funds for elementary and secondary education, to implement a state policy prohibiting school employees from certain actions regarding a minor's gender identity without parental consent.
In particular, a state policy must prohibit employees from the following activities without the consent of a minor student's custodial parent or legal guardian:
using pronouns for a minor that are inconsistent with the minor's biological sex for the purpose of recognizing or promoting a self-professed gender identity that is incongruent with their biological sex; providing, promoting, referring to, or otherwise assisting in the use of medical or other devices that promote changes to the minor's physical appearance so that it aligns with the opposite biological sex for the purpose of recognizing or promoting a self-professed gender identity that is incongruent with their biological sex; and carrying out any other action designed to assist a minor in the promotion or adoption of their self-professed gender identity and denial of their biological sex.
