Sex-based terms, defined; vital statistics, report sex as male or female at birth required, legislative policy regarding sex and gender identity established
HB 107 defines key sex-based terms (like "male," "female," and "sex") based on biological sex observed at birth for Alabama state law. It requires state agencies and public entities collecting vital statistics (such as birth, death, and fetal death records) to record sex as male or female at birth, with exceptions only when sex cannot be medically determined. The bill also permits public facilities to maintain separate single-sex spaces (e.g., restrooms, locker rooms) for males and females when safety, privacy, or fairness is a factor. This law applies to all state laws that classify individuals by sex or use sex-based terminology.
