AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to define "sex" and related terms, and to revise definitions regarding "sex" and "gender" in various state statutes and policies. The bill provides legislative intent, including recognizing that there are two, and only two, sexes (male and female) that are determined at or before birth, and that confusion about the definition of sex can hinder equal treatment under the law. The bill also revises the definition of "sex" in the Vulnerable Child Protection Act and the law governing birth certificates to clarify that sex refers to biological sex, not gender identity or expression. The bill declares its provisions to be severable and establishes an effective date of July 1, 2024.
