The bill H. 3506 aims to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws by adding Article 29 to Chapter 1, Title 1, which provides specific definitions and rules of construction regarding human biological sexes for the purposes of state laws, administrative regulations, and guidelines. It asserts that there are only two sexes, male and female, which correspond to distinct biological characteristics. The bill defines terms such as "male," "female," "woman," "man," "girl," and "boy," and clarifies that "gender" should be considered synonymous with sex in certain contexts, while also stating that "gender identity" is not a substitute for sex or gender in legal terms.

Additionally, the bill acknowledges the existence of individuals with disorders of sex development (DSD) and states that the definitions of "sex," "male," and "female" do not preclude reasonable accommodations for these individuals. The legislation emphasizes the intent to eliminate confusion surrounding the definitions of sex and related terms, thereby promoting clarity in legal contexts. The act will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
