North Dakota has passed legislation prohibiting school districts from withholding information from parents regarding their children's gender identity amid a nationwide movement to preserve safety and privacy for women and girls and parental rights.

North Dakota's Republican Gov. Kelly Armstrong signed House Bill 1144 into law Thursday. Armstrong's approval of the measure follows its passage in the Republican-controlled North Dakota House of Representatives in a 75-14 voteand its clearance in the Republican-controlled North Dakota Senate in a 40-7 vote.
