(CNN) Two Ohio state legislators want teachers to inform parents at the first sign that their child may be transgender.

Reps. Tom Brinkman and Paul Zeltwanger, both Republicans, introduced House Bill 658 , which would force teachers to immediately notify parents if they see any signs of gender dysphoria.

"If a government agent or entity has knowledge that a child under its care or supervision has exhibited symptoms of gender dysphoria or otherwise demonstrates a desire to be treated in a manner opposite of the child's biological sex, the government agent or entity ... shall immediately notify, in writing, each of the child's parents and the child's guardian or custodian. The notice shall describe the total circumstances with reasonable specificity," the legislation says.

After being notified, parents have the right to choose whether their child gets access to treatment -- including educational materials, counseling or medical services -- and they must give consent for their child to be able to receive it, according to the bill.

Without this permission, teachers would not be allowed to share with the student any resources on sex and gender or counseling, or they could be charged with a fourth-degree felony.
