Bill overview
This resolution aims to clarify and reaffirm legal protections for women under federal law. It defines ‘sex’ as biological sex at birth, distinguishes between ‘woman’ and ‘man’ based on biological differences, and outlines specific areas where distinctions between the sexes are considered justified, such as in athletics, prisons, and shelters. The resolution also asserts that policies differentiating based on sex are subject to constitutional review when serving a legitimate government purpose. Finally, it clarifies how data collection regarding sex should be conducted to comply with federal laws.
