HB4718 bans the use of someone’s actual or perceived sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation as evidence for certain legal defenses. This evidence cannot be used to argue provocation, heat of passion, or reduced mental capacity. It also states that using force against someone based on their sex or gender identity is never justified.
