Bill > HR5050

This bill proposes amendments to Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, specifically focusing on defining biological sex and protecting sex-segregated spaces in educational institutions. The bill provides precise definitions for the terms "female" and "male" based on reproductive system capabilities, defining sex as biologically determined rather than self-identified. It explicitly clarifies that educational institutions can maintain sex-segregated spaces like bathrooms, locker rooms, and athletic or academic programs without risking federal funding or facing federal prohibition. The legislation aims to preserve single-sex spaces and programs based on biological sex, ensuring that institutions can continue to offer sex-specific facilities and competitive environments. By adding these provisions to existing law, the bill seeks to provide legal clarity around sex-based distinctions in educational settings, potentially impacting transgender students' access to facilities and programs that align with their gender identity. The bill's language emphasizes biological characteristics and allows institutions to make sex-based distinctions in various contexts, including sports, restrooms, and other segregated spaces.
