Safeguarding Honest Speech Act prohibits federal funds from being used to enforce pronoun or name usage policies in federal agencies.

The Safeguarding Honest Speech Act prohibits federal funds from being used to implement, administer, or enforce any rule, policy, or guidance that requires federal employees or contractors to use another person's preferred pronouns or a name other than their legal name. Federal agencies must respond to written notices of alleged violations within 30 days. Employees or contractors who are aggrieved by a violation can bring a civil action against the responsible federal agency or department.
