Iowa HF583 amends definitions and provisions related to sex, gender identity, and gender theory in state statutes.

Iowa HF583 amends Iowa Code sections to redefine "sex" as a person's biological sex as either female or male, observed or clinically verified at birth. It removes gender identity as a protected class and replaces references to "gender identity" with "gender theory." The bill mandates that vital records, such as birth certificates, include the sex of the person at birth. It also prohibits school districts, charter schools, and innovation schools from providing instruction on gender theory or sexual orientation to students in kindergarten through grade six.
