HB 805 is an anti-trans bill that impacts transgender and nonbinary people throughout the state, while also limiting the curriculum and materials schools can provide to their students.
House Bill 805 includes multiple provisions targeting transgender and nonbinary communities, as well as schools, in the state. These provisions include:
Requiring state officials to keep a person’s original birth certificate and new birth certificate on file together in a multi-page document after their sex designation has changed, which forces trans people to out themselves in situations where a birth certificate is needed.
Creating rigid definitions of sex and gender in state law that erase the existence of transgender, nonbinary, and intersex individuals.
Extending the time a patient has to bring a medical malpractice lawsuit in cases involving gender-affirming care in an attempt to intimidate providers.
Banning gender-affirming care for people in state prison or otherwise in the custody of the Department of Adult Correction.
Allowing parents to prohibit their child from checking out certain books in the school library for any reason.
Allowing parents to pull their child from any classroom activity or discussion that they believe burdens their religion.
Requiring schools to house children on field trips according to their assigned sex at birth.
