AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Daughters of the American Revolution Membership Integrity Act," proposes to amend the Federal charter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) to clarify who is eligible to be a member. Specifically, it adds a new section to Title 36 of the United States Code that states membership is limited to individuals who are women and meet the DAR's established genealogical and membership qualifications. The bill defines "woman" as an adult human female and "female" as a person who naturally possesses, has had, will have, or would have had but for certain disruptions, the reproductive system capable of producing ova for fertilization. This aims to provide a clear and specific definition of membership eligibility for the organization.
