Iowa was the first state to ban school segregation, and one of the very first to allow same-sex marriage. It used to be so progressive!

Three days ago, it was illegal to discriminate against someone for being trans. It’s the very first state that’s ever explicitly taken that right away.

Trans Erasure bills create legal definitions of terms like “sex” designed to exclude or erase trans identity and insert them into various laws. This can have many different effects, depending on what laws are affected. They can force a male or female designation based on sex assigned at birth. Some target anti-discrimination statutes, legally empowering trans discrimination. New Bills: Idaho introduced document bill H0363 yesterday. Old Bills: Wyoming passed bill HB0032 through the Senate yesterday and sent it back to the House. Montana passed bill SB437 through its committee yesterday and sent it to the Senate floor. Digital Censorship Bills describe any legislation that potentially targets Queer and Trans media/material for removal. They typically do this by using vague and broad definitions of "Obscene" or "Harmful to Minors" and then banning such content from being accessible to minors, which often either removes the material entirely or requires age verification methods in order to view. This includes online censorship bills, library book bans, and other such legislation. Old Bills: Iowa passed bill HF62 through its committee yesterday and sent it to the House floor. New Hampshire held a hearing for bill HB293 yesterday, during which the bill was retained in committee until further notice. Wyoming passed bill HB0043 through the Senate yesterday and sent it back to the House. Most sports bills force schools to designate teams by sex assigned at birth. They are often one-sided and ban trans girls from playing on teams consistent with their gender identity. Some egregious bills even force invasive genital examinations on student athletes. Old Bills: Utah bill HB0424 was placed on the Senate calendar for its second reading yesterday. In other bills that either fit multiple categories or stand on their own, we have: New Bills: Arkansas introduced foster care discrimination bill HB1669 yesterday and sent it to the House Aging, Children and Youth, & Legislative Affairs Committee. Arkansas introduced bill HB1668 yesterday and sent it to the House Judiciary Committee. This bill allows anyone who supports trans kids to be sued for "supporting social transition/castration." Old Bills: Florida gave bills H1495, H1571, H1307, and H0731 their first House readings yesterday. The bills are all now awaiting committee assignments. Utah bill HB0413 failed to pass its committee yesterday and was returned to the Senate Rules Committee. Montana sent bill HB446 to the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday. Montana scheduled bills HB638 and HB635 for their second House reading yesterday.
