State Attorney General Hails Blocking Of Gender Identity Rule

  • Wednesday, July 3, 2024

Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti on Wednesday hailed a court ruling that he said blocks new gender identity requirements from the Biden administration nationwide.

AG Skrmetti said, "Today a federal court said no to the Biden administration’s attempt to illegally force every health care provider in America to adopt the most extreme version of gender ideology. 

“The administration has over and over again issued regulations that mangle the law to advance an ideological agenda. This case is just one of many examples of Tennessee working with other states to block the unlawful abuse of regulatory power. 

"Today’s order puts the rule on pause while we keep fighting to ensure this illegal rule never goes into effect.”

The court’s opinion can be read here.
