Utah enacted S.B. 100, barring schools from changing students' gender-identity records without parental consent
On February 16, 2023, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox signed S.B. 100, "School Gender Identity Policies," enacting Utah Code 53E-9-205. The law requires schools and local education agencies to ensure no policy shields a student's education record from the parent, and specifically bars any change to a student's education record regarding gender identity that does not conform to the student's sex without written parental consent. Because gender identity is the only record category singled out for this requirement, a school cannot document a student's social transition without parental notification and sign-off.
