Republican-led states advance Trump’s agenda with new laws July 1

While the Congress rushes to adopt the bill on the domestic policy of President Donald Trump, many red states are already implementing the key aspects of his program through new laws this week.

For most states, Tuesday is the start of a new exercise, when many laws take effect. Some of the statutes of Trump-Won States this year reflect the executive decrees and other directives which he signed at the start of his second term.

Here is a sample of the new laws that will be applied.

Target gender identity

Indiana and Georgia institutes prohibitions on the transgender participation of women in female sports. The Georgia law is called Riley Gaines Act, after the former college swimmer who was a substitution for the Trump campaign last year and became a defender of the transgender athletes of female sports.

The question of the ban on women trans from women’s sports was a principal for Trump, who campaigned on this subject and subsequently signed an executive decree establishing politics.

Ohio will now allow parents to remove their children from lessons that include the content of “sexual concepts or gender ideology”. Teachers will also have to inform parents if their children ask to be identified by different sexes from their organic sexes at school.

Iowa, meanwhile, removes the genre identity from its civil rights code, making it more a protected class. This is the first state to do so.

Recognize “Gulf of America”

Florida adopts two laws officially recognizing the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America”.

State agencies will have to implement the name change, and schools must do the same in educational material, including kindergarten manuals to the 12th year.

Florida is the first state to officially recognize the “Gulf of America” ​​after Trump signed a decree to make the change official.

Implementation of Maha priorities

Florida also withdraws a page from health and the secretary to human services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the game book “Make America Healthy Again”.

The legislator adopted a bill on omnibus agriculture which, among other provisions, puts an end to the addition of fluoride to tap water, a movement reflecting the plan of Kennedy to say to the centers for Disease Control and Prevention to stop recommending fluoridation in drinking water, long considered one of the best public public health achievements in the 20th century.

Florida is the second state to prohibit fluoride in its water, after UTAH, where a ban came into force in May.

Coordination with ice

Indiana adopts a law obliging county’s prisons to declare persons whom they probably have to believe that they have no legal status to the federal authorities concerned, including immigration and customs application. The law applies to those arrested for allegations of crimes or crimes.

Georgia implemented a similar law on December 31, followed by Utah on May 7.

Trump has signed a decree concerning local governments and states in cooperation with the application of immigration.

Roll up

The laws in two states to reduce diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives come into force on Tuesday.

The Indiana prohibits the DEI from colleges and state agencies, prohibiting employers or colleges from offering jobs or assistance to students due to characteristics based on identity such as race, sex or religion. The law also prohibits using public funds for campus activities which “promote or engage in social activism”.

The Mississippi prohibits dei in schools. A new State law prohibits programs and lessons in class and in school offices which he describes as engaging in “division concepts”, adding in addition that schools cannot hire depending on “race, sex, color” or “national origin”. A federal judge weighs whether the law should be prevented from entering into force.

Trump signed an anti-DEI decree in January by prohibiting these programs and activities in federal agencies and companies with government contracts, also encouraging the private sector to end the DEI practices.

Avoidation financing for NPR and PBS

Indiana eliminates the financing of the State for public dissemination, reflecting the executive order of Trump seeking to prohibit the NPR and the PBS from accessing federal funds.
