SB500 – Detransitioner Protection Act –

This bill provides legal protections for individuals who regret undergoing gender transition procedures and strengthens parental rights in medical decision-making for children.

Keep praying and advocating!

SB552 – The Protection of School Library Materials Act- SB 552 shields school librarians from prosecution for providing controversial materials but undermines parental rights, reduces transparency in publicly funded schools, and exposes children to content that may be inappropriate or misaligned with educational standards.

HB11 – Paid Family and Medical Leave Act – This bill imposes a costly, government-mandated paid leave program that burdens small businesses and working families with higher taxes. It creates an unsustainable bureaucracy that limits employer flexibility and increases financial strain on the private sector. HB11 has passed the Senate Tax Committee and is now moving to its final committee, the Senate Judiciary Committee, before the Senate Floor vote.

SB258 – The Human Sexuality Education Bill – This bill mandates a radical, statewide human sexuality curriculum without requiring parental consent, stripping parents of their right to guide their children’s education. It has passed committee and is now headed to the Senate floor. The sponsors continue to spread misinformation—please pray for clarity and truth to prevail.
