Plain Language Summary

# Restoring Biological Truth to the Workplace Act Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would restrict how employers can use sex and gender classifications in the workplace. Specifically, it would require that sex classifications be based on biological sex at birth rather than gender identity. The legislation would likely affect workplace policies related to hiring, facilities use, dress codes, and other employment matters that currently may account for transgender or non-binary employees' gender identity. **Who It Affects:** The bill would impact transgender and non-binary workers, as well as employers who currently have policies accommodating gender identity in the workplace.

It could also affect federal contractors and possibly influence how federal agencies manage their own employment practices. **Current Status:** As of now, the bill remains in committee and has not advanced to a full floor vote in either chamber of Congress. This means it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate or House, and its prospects for passage are uncertain depending on broader congressional dynamics and priorities.
