Gender Delusion Disqualification Act
Latest action (8 Sep 2026): Introduced
What this bill does
H.R. 10319, the "Gender Delusion Disqualification Act," would amend federal personnel law (title 5, U.S. Code) to add a new provision affecting certain federal jobs and credentials. Specifically, for any "covered position"—a federal executive-agency job that already has agency-established mental health standards as a condition of employment—an individual diagnosed with gender dysphoria could not hold that position. The same restriction would apply to "covered certifications," meaning federal licenses or credentials whose issuance or renewal is legally tied to meeting specified mental health standards. Agencies would be required to issue implementing regulations within 180 days of enactment.
The bill would affect federal employees and applicants in positions where agencies already impose mental health fitness requirements (such as certain law enforcement, medical, or safety-sensitive roles), as well as holders of federally issued credentials subject to mental health standards. It explicitly states that it does not create new mental health requirements for federal employees whose positions do not already have such standards.
The bill was introduced on September 8, 2026, by Rep. Nancy Mace and referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. It has not yet been voted on, and would need committee action, House and Senate passage, and presidential signature to become law.
