The "Women's Safety and Protection Act" is designed to enhance the safety and protection of women and girls in various environments, such as correctional facilities, domestic violence shelters, and public schools. The legislation establishes clear definitions of sex, male, and female, emphasizing biological distinctions, and mandates that facilities for biological females maintain separate accommodations for males and females to ensure privacy and safety. It also articulates the legislative intent to protect women from sexual assault, harassment, and violence, particularly in spaces where they have traditionally been safe.

Furthermore, the Act introduces a standard of review for laws that differentiate between the sexes, subjecting them to intermediate scrutiny to ensure they serve an important governmental interest. It allows individuals to assert violations of the Act as a cause of action, providing remedies for direct or indirect harm, and includes protections against retaliation for those asserting their rights. The bill also establishes a rebuttable presumption that housing individuals with members of the opposite sex in certain facilities is inherently discriminatory, and it outlines the types of relief available, including injunctive relief and the recovery of damages. A severability clause is included to ensure the enforceability of remaining provisions if any part of the Act is found invalid.
