Federal Funds Ban on Compelled Use of Preferred Pronouns or Non-Legal Names.
This bill prevents Federal agencies from using taxpayer money to enforce rules that require employees to use preferred pronouns incompatible with a person's biological sex or names other than their legal name. It aims to protect Federal workers from mandatory language requirements in the workplace. Employees who feel harmed by such requirements gain the right to sue the responsible Federal agency for relief.
Key points
Federal agencies cannot use funds to enforce policies requiring employees to use pronouns inconsistent with a person's sex (defined by reproductive biology at birth).
Federal employees and contractors gain a private right of action to sue the agency if they are compelled to use specific language against their will.
Courts may award relief, including compensatory damages, attorney fees, and punitive damages up to $100,000 for violations.
