Utah Republicans are prefiling HB 0095, which basically says you can't apply disciplinary actions to folks who misgender trans-people, so long as that aligns with assigned gender at birth (called in the bill "biological sex") legiscan.com/UT/text/HB00...

While MO 2026 SB 1476 doesn't have text yet, it shares the same bill title as its presumed House equivalent MO 2026 HB 2407, which we know is a drag ban because it targets "male or female impersonators who provide entertainment" legiscan.com/MO/text/HB24...

MO 2026 HB 2580 looks to be the House equivalent of the previously filed MO 2026 SB 1085 - both of which as stated below are social transition bans for K12 trans students, as well as forced outing of trans students to parents; Don't Say Trans bills, pronoun bans, K12 bathroom & activities bans.

My side project of tracing how legislators define "sex" and "assigned/designated gender at birth" still needs data from 2025 filled in - but now I've got 2009-2024, mostly done - plus what we have for 2026 so far. You can see trends dependent on model bills. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
