Bill > HB1184

This bill amends existing South Dakota law to define "man" as an adult human male and "woman" as an adult human female, and also defines "male" as an individual who produces sperm for fertilization and "female" as an individual who produces eggs for fertilization, based on their natural reproductive systems. These definitions are to be applied uniformly across all state administrative rules, contracts, guidance documents, policies, practices, and statutes, as well as by all state agencies, departments, and political subdivisions when carrying out their duties. The bill also makes conforming changes to various sections of the code, including those related to the definition of "person," "full-time equivalent" (FTE) positions, population counts for municipalities, and the titling and registration of vehicles, ensuring these new definitions are integrated into the state's legal framework.
