Show full summary
- Workers who express or display beliefs that sex is binary or biological would be protected from discipline, firing, or other adverse actions for that speech. "Covered expression" includes speech, writing, depictions, pronoun use, and owning or using items with those messages.
- Employees who request or use single-sex areas — bathrooms, changing areas, or other places where physical privacy is desirable — would be protected from employer actions for doing so.
- Employers could not defend such actions by saying they were job related or necessary for business, and the bill adds explicit retaliation protection for employees who make these claims.
