Summary

This bill aims to restrict how executive agencies collect information related to sex and gender. It explicitly prohibits agencies from soliciting or obtaining any information regarding an individual's gender identity on forms or surveys. Furthermore, the legislation mandates that executive agencies must provide only "male" and "female" as options for questions concerning sex or gender. Agencies are also required to reject any form or survey submission that offers a response other than male or female to a required sex or gender question. The bill includes specific definitions, clarifying that "gender" is a synonym for "sex" and refers to males, females, or their natural differences, explicitly excluding concepts like gender identity or gender expression. It defines "male" and "female" based on reproductive systems, and states that "gender identity" does not mean sex or gender. The Office of Management and Budget is tasked with issuing guidance for implementing these provisions within 180 days of enactment.
