Bill > HB334

This bill, titled the Kentucky Women's Bill of Rights, aims to clarify and standardize laws in Kentucky concerning sex discrimination and equality by defining key terms such as "boy," "girl," "male," "female," "man," "woman," and "sex," with "sex" specifically referring to biological sex at birth, which is considered objective and fixed, and not including gender identity. The bill prohibits state and local laws from unfairly treating males or females differently from similarly situated members of the opposite sex, but it permits the separation of sexes when necessary for safety, privacy, and fairness, providing examples like prisons, athletics, and locker rooms where such distinctions may be made. Furthermore, it mandates that any public entity collecting vital statistics related to sex must identify individuals as either male or female according to the bill's definitions, while clarifying that this does not require the collection of sex data unless otherwise mandated by law.
