On July 15, 2024, California enacted the SAFETY Act which prohibits and invalidates any adopted school board policy, rule, or administrative regulation that requires forced outings.

The SAFETY Act does not limit students’ and parents’ ability to discuss gender identities within their own families in the manner that they choose.

The Act states that a school employee shall not be required to disclose any information related to a pupil’s LGBTQ+ identity to any other person without the pupil’s consent unless otherwise required by state or federal law.

The Act does not limit a parent’s ability to request school records.
