This bill would cut off federal funds to many public and private entities if they allow someone to use a single-sex space, like a restroom, locker room, or changing room, that does not match that person’s biological sex. It applies to government agencies, private organizations, and state, tribal, and local governments. The bill also creates exceptions for emergency medical workers responding to a medical emergency and for law enforcement officers during an active pursuit or active investigation.
- Federal money could not go to an entity that lets a person use a single-sex facility based on gender identity instead of biological sex.
- The rule would cover spaces on property owned, leased, controlled, or occupied by the entity.
- Single-sex facilities include restrooms, locker rooms, and changing rooms.
- The bill defines biological sex as male or female and uses detailed legal definitions for those terms.
