GA HB1210

Parents have a "fundamental right" to affirm their child's biological sex, and such affirmation cannot be considered abuse, neglect, or grounds for loss of custody in any dependency or custody proceedings

"Affirming" a child's sex includes using their legal name and pronouns consistent with biological sex, declining consent for gender-affirming medical treatments or mental health services, and providing therapy that uses birth-sex pronouns

State employees, contractors, and volunteers are prohibited from encouraging children to adopt a gender identity different from their biological sex or concealing such requests from parents

Foster and adoptive parents, kinship care providers, and child service contractors cannot be required to act contrary to their religious or sincerely held beliefs regarding a child's sex, and cannot be denied placements for affirming biological sex

Children in state custody must be placed in settings based solely on their biological sex, and the state is prohibited from contracting with entities that characterize affirming biological sex as abuse or promote gender transition interventions
