Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill, known as the "given name act," would require school employees to use a student's legal name from their birth certificate and pronouns that match their biological sex, unless a parent gives written permission otherwise. It also protects employees from punishment if they refuse to use different names or pronouns and allows students to refuse as well. Individuals harmed by a violation could sue for damages.
