Conditions federal education funding on (1) parental affirmative-consent as a categorical gate to school recognition of a student's gender markers, pronouns, preferred name, or sex-based accommodations; and (2) parental right-to-know about biological-sex-based athletic and facility-access enforcement. The parental-consent provision is the identical statutory mechanism later isolated as H.R.2616 (119th, "PROTECT Kids Act"). Verified against the CRS-published reported and passed-House bill summaries.
