The Colorado legislature approved House Bill 1312, the Kelly Loving Act, which aims to enhance civil rights protections for the transgender community. A controversial section addressing child custody and parental visitation was removed prior to voting, leading to a 20-14 approval in the Senate and a 40-24 approval in the House. If signed by Governor Jared Polis, the bill will prohibit deadnaming and misgendering in public spaces, simplify the process of changing gender markers on IDs, and require inclusive policies in schools related to dress codes and chosen names.
The Kelly Loving Act defines 'chosen name' as a name chosen by a person and prohibits misgendering as a discriminatory act in public accommodations.
House Bill 1312 now requires schools to support students in following gender-specific dress codes of their choosing, promoting inclusivity in name usage.
