The bill aims to establish a common definition for the term "sex" as it pertains to humans, revising various sections of Montana law to ensure consistency across legal contexts. It amends multiple sections, including but not limited to 1-1-201, 2-18-208, and 20-7-1306, to incorporate this standardized definition. The intent is to clarify legal language and reduce ambiguity in the interpretation of laws related to sex.

In addition to defining "sex," the bill seeks to update existing statutes to reflect this new definition, thereby impacting a wide range of legal areas, including employment, health, and civil rights. The comprehensive nature of the amendments indicates a significant legislative effort to unify the understanding of sex in legal terms throughout the state's laws.
