Bill > SB179

This bill, titled the Kentucky Women's Bill of Rights, aims to clarify and standardize Kentucky laws concerning sex-based classifications. It defines key terms such as "boy," "girl," "man," "woman," "male," and "female," with "sex" specifically referring to biological sex as observed or verified at birth, which is considered objective and fixed, and not including gender identity. The bill states there are only two sexes, male and female, and that individuals with differences in sex development (DSD), sometimes called intersex conditions, are not a third sex but will be accommodated according to existing laws. It prohibits state and local laws or policies from treating males and females unfairly compared to the opposite sex, but allows for the separation of sexes when necessary for safety, privacy, and fairness, providing examples like prisons, athletics, and locker rooms. Furthermore, any public entity collecting vital statistics related to sex must identify each person as either male or female, as defined by the bill, though this does not mandate the collection of sex data unless otherwise required by law.
