permitting classification of individuals based on biological sex under certain limited circumstances.

SB 552 defines "biological sex" as male or female and permits classification based on biological sex in three specific situations without constituting unlawful discrimination under New Hampshire's Law Against Discrimination. These include restroom/locker room use (even with individual stalls), athletic competitions where physical strength/speed/endurance may provide advantage, and correctional or mental health facilities. The bill clarifies that entities are not required to separate people by biological sex, but explicitly states such classifications in these limited contexts do not violate anti-discrimination law. It amends New Hampshire's anti-discrimination statute (RSA 354-A) to add these exceptions. The law takes effect 60 days after passage.
