SB1989 protects parents' rights to raise children according to their biological sex.

This includes using titles and pronouns consistent with the child's biological sex and making medical or mental health decisions based on it. The bill also prevents these actions from being grounds for child abuse or neglect findings, court determinations of unruliness, dependency, or neglect, or custody decisions. The act takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
