Plain-English Summary

This bill requires public schools and public charter schools to refer to students by the name and gender on their birth certificate. This rule applies unless a parent gives written permission for a different name or gender, or if there is legal proof of a name or gender change. The bill aims to standardize how schools identify students based on their official birth records.
