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, "Boy" is defined as a minor human male, while "Girl" is defined as a minor human female. The definitions of "Male" and "Female" focus on the biological reproductive systems, emphasizing that these terms are not synonymous with gender identity.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that "Gender" refers specifically to the biological differences between males and females, and it explicitly states that gender is not to be used interchangeably with gender identity or expression. The definitions aim to provide a consistent framework for understanding these terms within the context of Minnesota law, ensuring that biological sex is distinguished from gender identity. Overall, the bill seeks to establish a statutory foundation for the biological definitions of male and female in legal contexts.
