The proposed bill establishes the "Minnesota Women's Bill of Rights," which aims to define terms related to sex and gender for all statutes and rules within the state. It introduces specific definitions for terms such as "woman," "man," "girl," "boy," "mother," "father," "female," "male," and "sex," emphasizing that sex is strictly biological and does not include gender identity. The bill also clarifies that individuals with differences in sex development are not classified as a third sex and mandates that any policies prohibiting sex discrimination must ensure fairness between males and females in various contexts, including athletics and facilities.
Additionally, the bill instructs the revisor of statutes to replace the term "gender" with "sex" in legal language where appropriate. It outlines that public entities collecting data related to sex must categorize individuals strictly as male or female, as defined in the bill, while allowing for the collection of additional data points. The bill includes a severability clause to ensure that if any part is deemed unconstitutional, the remainder will still stand.
