Date: 2025-01-02

Based on the measures introduced by the 118th Congress, we should expect bills to be filed that attempt to accomplish the following (at a minimum), starting tomorrow:
Adoption & Foster Care:
Prohibiting entities receiving federal assistance for adoption or foster care placements from denying or delaying placements when a prospective parent refuses to provide gender affirming care to a minor. (H.R. 5636, H.R. 6658, S. 3438)
Bathroom Bans:
Bathroom ban on federal property (H.R. 10186)
Gender Affirming Care:
Stopping the provision of gender affirming care to minors by:
Schools:
As a condition of receiving federal education funding, prohibiting K-12 school employees from:
Sports:
In the Rules package set for consideration tomorrow (January 3), H.R. 1 (presumably) is slated to cover this particular topic. We do not yet have the language of the bill.
