Gov. Kay Ivey signed the two bills into law [this week]. One criminalizes gender-affirming surgeries for trans youth. Another requires students use the bathroom of the "biological sex" listed on their birth certificate and, in an amendment modeled on Florida's law, prevents classroom discussion of topics "regarding sexual orientation or gender identity" in kindergarten through fifth grade.
The legislation comes just a year after Alabama passed a bill to remove anti-gay language from its sex-education standards. The state's sex education standards still emphasize abstinence but language about homosexuality being illegal and unacceptable was removed in 2021.
