(<em>Gender </em><em>dysphori</em>a refers to the distress that may accompany the incongruence between one's experienced or expressed gender and one's assigned gender.)</p><p>Under the bill, an individual with gender dysphoria may not occupy a position for which the employing agency&nbsp;has established&nbsp;mental health standards. Such standards are criteria the agency uses to determine whether an individual's diagnosed mental health condition renders them unable to safely or effectively perform the duties of a position. The criteria may be established through agency regulation, medical evaluation protocols, or government-wide personnel suitability standards.</p><p>The bill also prohibits individuals with gender dysphoria from obtaining or renewing any license, certificate, or other&nbsp;credential that is&nbsp;issued by an executive agency and is conditioned on&nbsp;the individual satisfying specified mental health standards.&nbsp;For example, the Federal Aviation Administration&nbsp;prohibits airline pilot licenses from being issued to individuals with certain mental health diagnoses (e.g., bipolar disorder).</p><p>Executive agencies must issue regulations necessary to establish these requirements for covered positions and credentials within 180 days after&nbsp;the bill's enactment.&nbsp;</p>","updateDate":"2026-09-18T18:21:06Z"},"markets":[],"stateBills":[],"meta":{"sources":["congress.gov"],"latencyMs":350,"ts":"2026-10-14T16:57:12.299Z"},"nextActions":{"inspect":[],"related":[{"description":"Search related legislation","method":"GET","url":"https://simplefunctions.dev/api/public/query-gov?q=Gender%20Delusion%20Disqualification%20Act"}]}}
