Show full summary
- LGBTQI+ people: Would block rules that the bill says mandate discrimination, refuse appropriate federal identity markers, and could weaken protections in employment, education, housing, and health care.
- Transgender youth and families: Would prevent directives that limit transgender health care for people under age 19 and that exclude transgender students from school sports or require schools to deny their existence.
- Servicemembers: Would overturn orders that reinstate or expand a ban on transgender people serving in the military.
- Federal funding recipients: Agencies, schools, and other entities that receive federal money would be barred from using those funds to carry out the five specified orders.
*The bill includes a savings clause saying nothing in the bill should be read to impair any constitutional authority of the President.*

Cancel anti-LGBTQ executive orders
If enacted, the bill would cancel five named Executive Orders described as targeting LGBTQI+ people. It would bar federal funds from being used to carry out, enforce, or administer those orders. The listed orders address sex definitions, military service, transgender health care for adolescents, school sports, and school guidance. If enacted, this could restore protections for transgender, nonbinary, and intersex people in jobs, housing, schools, health care, military service, and identity documents.
Preserve the President's powers
If enacted, the bill would say that nothing in it limits the President's constitutional powers. This savings clause would preserve presidential authority while the bill removes certain Executive Orders.
