So it already passed? I don't think the governor signed it (?)

<This bill would would, commencing January 1, 2021, require the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to, during initial intake and classification, ask each individual entering into the custody of the department to specify the individual’s gender identity and sex assigned at birth, and, if the individual’s gender identity is different from their sex assigned at birth, their gender pronoun and honorific. The bill would prohibit the department from disciplining a person for refusing to answer or not disclosing complete information in response to these questions. The bill would authorize a person under the jurisdiction of the department to update this information. The bill would prohibit staff and contractors from failing to consistently use the gender pronoun and honorific an individual has specified in verbal and written communications with or regarding that individual that involve the use of a pronoun or honorific.>

I don't understand how this stuff works so I idk, but I believe it was passed by the Senate and then it still has to be passed by the Assembly, and if the Assembly doesn't pass it, it returns to the Senate to be modified. I do not know, I'm sorry, I only heard this today from one of the secretaries. Thanks so much for looking this stuff up and informing me.
