HB 1271 is a policy declaration bill that would state Tennessee's position that "there are only two sexes, a biological male and a biological female," as part of state law. It amends multiple Tennessee Code sections (Titles 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8) to include this statement as official state policy. The bill does not create new regulations or directly affect specific individuals or groups; it only establishes this policy position in existing legal codes. The measure is currently pending in the Judiciary Committee for further review. This is a procedural declaration, not a law altering rights or services.
