The bill, which passed with a veto-proof majority, is now awaiting Republican Gov. Doug Burgum\u2019s approval to become law.<\/p>\n<h3>What the Bill Entails<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Public school teachers cannot refer to transgender students by pronouns other than those reflecting their biological sex without permission from the student\u2019s parents and a school administrator.<\/li>\n<li>Government entities cannot force employees to refer to their colleagues by pronouns that are inconsistent with their biological sex.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Republican Rep. Karen Rohr, who supports the bill, said it includes language that Burgum has no objections to signing. However, Burgum vetoed a similar bill in March, stating that it would make teachers\u2019 jobs more challenging by requiring them to police pronoun use.<\/p>\n<h3>Other Measures<\/h3>\n<p>Burgum has signed several bills into law this month restricting transgender rights, including one that protects the rights of individuals who object to transgender people using their spaces, such as bathrooms. He also signed a bill prohibiting transgender people in North Dakota from using bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers in places like college dorms and jails that don\u2019t match their biological sex.<\/p>\n<p>Republican Rep. Jeff Hoverson, who supported the bill, said the idea of bathrooms being restricted to people of a given sex should be a no-brainer. \u201cWhy would you not want a men\u2019s bathroom to be for men, and a women\u2019s bathroom to be for women?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>State lawmakers in North Dakota have passed a bill that would allow a range of government employees\u2014including public school teachers\u2014to ignore the preferred pronouns of transgender students or work colleagues.
