Bill Summary
An Act amending title 1, Arizona Revised Statutes, by adding chapter 9; relating to sex-based terms.
AI Summary
This bill amends Arizona's statutes to define key sex-based terms, such as "boy," "father," "female," "girl," "male," and "mother," and clarifies that "sex" refers to a person's biological sex at birth, which is either male or female. It requires the state to replace the term "gender" with "sex" in all laws, rules, and policies, and allows for the provision of separate single-sex environments, such as bathrooms and athletic facilities, where the sexes are not similarly situated. The bill also requires the collection of vital statistics to identify individuals as either male or female. The purpose of the act is to bring clarity, certainty, and uniformity to the laws regarding sex discrimination and equality in the state.
