Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds mandatory school policies to treat transgender or gender non-conforming students according to their gender identity or expression in pronouns/names, facilities (including bathrooms/locker rooms), athletics/activities, and records/privacy, with no medical prerequisite and privacy protections. This expands legal recognition and access in education, bathrooms, and sports per the topic definitions. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
