No forced pronoun use by government
Beginning July 1, 2025, state and local governments cannot force employees to use another employee’s preferred pronouns.

They also cannot use threats like discipline, exclusion, sanction, or punishment to force it. If this happens on or after July 1, 2025, you can sue the state, a city or county, or officials in their official roles. You can ask a court to stop the rule or declare it unlawful; money damages are not provided.
