This bill proposes amendments to Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, primarily focusing on clarifying the definition of "sex" and permissible sex-segregated spaces and activities. It establishes specific biological definitions for "female" and "male" , linking them to reproductive systems, and defines "sex" as referring to either male or female, as biologically determined. The legislation explicitly states that nothing in Title IX may be construed to prohibit or penalize educational institutions for maintaining sex-segregated spaces , such as bathrooms and locker rooms. It also clarifies that institutions can continue to offer sex-segregated athletic or academic programs without jeopardizing their federal funding. This aims to ensure that educational institutions can uphold distinctions based on biological sex without violating Title IX.
