This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 645.451, to establish clear biological definitions for terms related to sex and gender. It introduces several new subdivisions that define key terms such as "Boy," "Girl," "Man," "Woman," "Male," "Female," "Father," "Mother," "Gender," and "Sex." For instance, "Male" and "Female" are defined based on the reproductive systems that produce sperm and eggs, respectively, while "Gender" is clarified to refer specifically to biological sex rather than gender identity or expression.

The bill emphasizes that the definitions of "Sex" and "Gender" are distinct, with "Sex" referring to an individual's biological characteristics and "Gender" being tied to the natural differences between males and females. The language also specifies that these definitions do not apply when the terms are used in conjunction with other words or in contexts that indicate otherwise. Overall, the bill aims to provide a statutory framework for understanding these terms in a biological context.
