H.R. 4138, the Restoring Biological Truth in Government Act, would prohibit all federal agencies from asking questions about gender identity on any government forms or surveys and require that sex or gender questions offer only "male" or "female" as response options. The bill defines male and female based on reproductive biology and specifies that gender identity, gender expression, and gender roles are separate from sex. The legislation applies to all executive branch agencies, including federal departments, independent agencies, and military branches. The Office of Management and Budget would have 180 days after the bill's enactment to issue guidance to agencies on how to implement these requirements. The bill does not include specific funding allocations, as it primarily imposes restrictions on how federal agencies collect demographic information.
