Bill > HB1217

This bill, titled "Permitting classification of individuals based on biological sex under certain limited circumstances," amends existing law to allow public and private entities to classify individuals by their biological sex in specific situations, stating that such classifications do not constitute unlawful discrimination. Specifically, it permits the separation of individuals by biological sex in multi-user lavatory facilities and locker rooms, and in athletic competitions where biological males are recognized to have a competitive advantage due to physical strength, speed, or endurance. The bill defines "biological sex" as male and female and clarifies that these separations are optional, not mandatory. The underlying rationale presented is that these classifications serve compelling state interests in protecting privacy and physical safety.
