Official statutory text
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, with respect to the application of a person's biological sex under any law or rule and regulation in this state, the following definitions and standards shall apply:
(i) A person's "sex" means the person's biological sex, either male or female, at birth;
(ii) "Female" means a person who has, had, will have or would have had, but for a congenital anomaly or intentional
or unintentional disruption, the reproductive system that at some point produces, transports and utilizes eggs for fertilization;
(iii) "Male" means a person who has, had, will have or would have had, but for a congenital anomaly or intentional or unintentional disruption, the reproductive system that at some point produces, transports and utilizes sperm for fertilization;
(iv) The terms "woman" and "girl" refer to human females, and the terms "man" and "boy" refer to human males;
(v) "Mother" means a parent of the female sex;
(vi) "Father" means a parent of the male sex;
(vii) With respect to biological sex, the term "equal" does not mean "same" or "identical";
(viii) With respect to biological sex, separate accommodations are not inherently unequal; and
(ix) A person born with a medically recognized condition of a disorder or difference in sex development shall not be denied legal protections and accommodations afforded under applicable law.
(b) The legislature finds that laws, rules and regulations that distinguish between the sexes are subject to intermediate constitutional scrutiny. Intermediate constitutional scrutiny forbids unfair discrimination against similarly situated male and female persons but allows the law to distinguish between the sexes where such distinctions are substantially related to important governmental objectives.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, laws, rules and regulations that recognize or enforce distinctions between the sexes with respect to athletics, prisons or other detention facilities, domestic violence shelters, rape crisis centers, locker rooms, restrooms and other areas where safety or privacy are implicated and that result in separate accommodations between the sexes are substantially related to the important governmental objectives of protecting the health, safety and privacy of persons in such circumstances.
(d) Any school district, or public school thereof, and any state agency, department, office or other political subdivision that collects vital statistics for the purpose of complying with anti-discrimination laws or for the purpose of gathering accurate public health, crime, economic or other data shall, when identification by sex is used, identify each person who is part of the collected data set as either male or female consistent with the person's sex at birth.
