Prohibits state-funded employers from requiring training on gender identity or expression as a condition of employment, so less workplace exposure to and recognition of transgender concepts.
It is an unlawful employment practice for an employer who receives funding from the state to require, as a condition of employment, any training, instruction, or other activity on sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.
Defines sex as immutable and biological, prohibits requiring use of preferred pronouns that do not match sex, bars adverse actions based on beliefs rejecting gender ideology, and limits job forms to binary sex options, so less legal recognition of and accommodations for transgender gender identity.
It is the policy of this state that a person's sex is an immutable biological trait and that it is false to ascribe to a person a pronoun that does not correspond to such person's sex.

No provisions address firearms, abortion, or immigration enforcement.
