Updated: Jul 15, 2026
Summary
This legislative proposal seeks to amend the federal charter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) by modifying its membership eligibility requirements. Specifically, it mandates that membership be limited to individuals who are a woman and who also satisfy the organization's existing genealogical and membership qualifications. The bill provides explicit definitions for these terms, stating that a "woman" is an adult human female . It further defines "female" as a person who naturally has, had, will have, or would have, but for certain disruptions, the reproductive system that produces large gametes (ova) for fertilization. This amendment aims to establish a clear and biologically specific criterion for membership in the DAR.
