This bill introduces a new section to RSA 354-A, defining "biological sex" as the male and female biological sexes. It stipulates that designations based on biological sex do not constitute unlawful discrimination in specific contexts, including the use of multi-person lavatory facilities, participation in athletic events where physical attributes may provide an advantage, and the operation of facilities such as prisons and mental health centers. The bill clarifies that while classification based on biological sex is permissible in these areas, it does not mandate public or private entities to separate individuals based on biological sex.
Additionally, the bill does not provide any funding and has an indeterminable fiscal impact, as the Human Rights Commission cannot currently assess the potential increase in public interactions or training sessions resulting from the new language. The act will take effect 60 days after its passage.
