HR 935 United States House · 118th Congress

Safety and Opportunity for Girls Act of 2023

HR 935, the Safety and Opportunity for Girls Act of 2023, amends Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 to define "sex" as determined by reproductive biology and genetics at birth, and clarifies that "sex-segregated" means limited to or separated by that sex. The bill explicitly prohibits the Secretary of Education from requiring schools to eliminate sex-segregated bathrooms, locker rooms, or athletic/academic programs as a condition for receiving federal funding under Title IX. It directly affects educational institutions receiving federal funds by preventing federal enforcement actions that might compel them to abandon existing sex-segregated facilities or programs. The bill focuses on altering the legal interpretation of Title IX regarding sex-based accommodations, not creating new programs or services.
