Equality in Laws Act: Gender-Neutral Language in US Code

This act aims to change the language in the U.S. legal code, replacing gender-specific pronouns and nouns with gender-neutral forms. This means legal documents will be more inclusive, potentially making them easier for all citizens to understand and interpret, regardless of gender.
Key points
All gender-specific pronouns and nouns (e.g., "he," "she," "his," "hers") will be replaced with gender-neutral forms (e.g., "the individual," "their," "them").
These changes will not alter the substance or meaning of the laws, only their linguistic form.
The goal is to create more inclusive and understandable language in legal documents for all citizens.
