If passed, a state senate bill would fine people $1,500 each time they use pronouns referring to themselves that don’t match the gender they were assigned at birth. The bill could be enforced anywhere that receives state funding, including state agencies and public schools.
According to the Blaze, the bill requires “any entity receiving state funding, including a public school, an institution under the control of the state board of higher education, and a state agency or office,” to use only the pronouns referring to a person’s biological sex.

This week Senator David Clemens, a sponsor of the bill and Vietnam Vet, said it intends to sway schools from “promoting transgenderism.” The father of four chose to stand up against the systemic embrace of LGBT speech conventions.

The Blaze reported Clemens stated the reality-affirming bill might be used in this way, “Say they’re a boy, but they come to school and say they’re a girl. As far as that school is concerned in this bill, that person is still a boy. If it becomes contested, the burden will be on the girl, the so-called girl, or the boy to prove that he is a girl.”

The $1,500 penalty would be imposed for those using reality-denying pronouns. The legislation extends to communications, training, procedures, policies, and records of state-funded institutions.
After hearing differing opinions, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted unanimously to recommend the bill not be passed. The legislation will be voted on the Senate floor on Friday.
