Rep. Ryan Chamberlin, R-Ocala, introduced a bill that would crack down on pronoun mandates and penalties in the workplace.

It would protect employees and contractors from penalization and punishment by employers if they are required to use, or refer to others with, certain titles and pronouns that don’t correspond with a person’s biological sex.

The bill, HB 599, also prevents non-profit organizations that receive state funding from requiring, as a condition of employment, any “training, instruction, or activity on sexual orientation.”

Additionally, the legislation bars employers from using “adverse personnel action” on the basis of “deeply held religious or biology-based beliefs.”
