 - Bug in :meth:`DataFrame.transform` that was returning the wrong order unless the index was monotonically increasing. (:issue:`57069`)
 - Bug in :meth:`DataFrame.where` where using a non-bool type array in the function would return a ``ValueError`` instead of a ``TypeError`` (:issue:`56330`)
 - Bug in :meth:`Index.sort_values` when passing a key function that turns values into tuples, e.g. ``key=natsort.natsort_key``, would raise ``TypeError`` (:issue:`56081`)
+- Bug in :meth:`Index.get_level_values` incorrectly handling boolean, ``np.nan``, ``pd.NA``, and ``pd.NaT`` level names (:issue:`TBD`)
 - Bug in :meth:`MultiIndex.fillna` error message was referring to ``isna`` instead of ``fillna`` (:issue:`60974`)
 - Bug in :meth:`Series.describe` where median percentile was always included when the ``percentiles`` argument was passed (:issue:`60550`).
 - Bug in :meth:`Series.diff` allowing non-integer values for the ``periods`` argument. (:issue:`56607`)
