Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committees on Oversight and Government Reform, Foreign Affairs, Financial Services, Education and Workforce, Homeland Security, and Ways and Means, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
The Truth in Gender Act of 2025 would establish federal policy defining sex as an immutable biological category based on reproductive function, separate from gender identity. The bill directs federal agencies to use these definitions across all policies, forms, and communications; remove statements promoting what it calls "gender ideology"; and ensure government-issued identification documents reflect biological sex. It also requires changes to federal prison policies to house individuals based on biological sex rather than gender identity, directs the Department of Housing and Urban Development to rescind a 2016 rule on equal access to housing programs, and instructs the Justice Department to prioritize enforcement of single-sex workplace and facility access. The legislation applies to federal employees, federal contractors, and any entity receiving federal funding, with most agencies required to report on implementation within 120 days of the bill's enactment. No specific budget allocation is provided in the text.
