Why the model tagged it this way: The bill expands the statutory definition of protected SOGISC data to cover more information that can identify or infer transgender or intersex status (including gender marker changes and related records) and imposes new confidentiality and nondisclosure rules that protect such data from public release or sharing outside state government, thereby increasing legal recognition and privacy protections for transgender and intersex individuals. No provisions address healthcare access, sports, bathrooms, education policies on pronouns, abortion, firearms, or immigration enforcement.
