This bill establishes the "Defining SEX Act", and provides statutory definitions of the terms "boy", "father", "female", "girl", "male", "man", "mother", "sex", and "woman".
This bill also specifies that "gender", when used alone and to refer to males, females, or the natural differences between the two, must be considered a synonym for "sex", and will not be considered a synonym or shorthand expression for "gender identity", "experienced gender", "gender expression", or "gender role". "Gender identity", if the term is used in State law, administrative rules, or guidelines, must not be considered a synonym or substitute for "sex" or "gender"
This bill is the same as HB 2309 (2024).
