To amend the Communications Act of 1934 to provide for a gender identity content descriptor for video programming, and for other purposes.

Key Points

• This bill would require a new label on TV shows that talk about or show gender identity, gender transition, or non-binary identities. This label would work like current ratings for violence or bad language.
• The rule specifically targets shows made for children, such as those rated TV-Y, TV-Y7, or TV-G. It aims to give parents more information about what their kids are watching.
• If the bill passes, the FCC would have 90 days to check if the TV industry has already added these labels voluntarily. If the industry has not acted, the FCC must create the rules themselves.
• The labels must be designed to work with the V-chip. This is the technology inside TVs that lets parents block certain types of shows automatically.
• The bill states that it is not meant to ban or censor any shows. Instead, it focuses on providing a description so parents can make their own choices about what is appropriate for their family.
