Maddy summaryHB 571, the "Women's Safety and Protection Act," defines biological sex in Tennessee law and requires specific facilities to maintain accommodations based on biological sex. It directly affects correctional facilities, juvenile detention centers, domestic violence shelters, dormitories, and restrooms by mandating that these spaces remain segregated by biological sex to protect women's safety and privacy. Key provisions include defining "female" as individuals with a reproductive system producing ova and "male" as those producing sperm, and prohibiting agencies from banning sex-based distinctions in facilities where safety or privacy is a concern. The bill requires facilities to maintain separate accommodations for biological females where safety, health, or privacy is at issue. This bill is currently under review in the Tennessee House Rules Committee.
