SRES 53 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A resolution establishing a Women's Bill of Rights to reaffirm legal protections afforded to women under Federal law.

SRES 53 is a Senate resolution defining "sex" under federal law as biological sex at birth and specifying that terms like "woman," "girl," and "mother" refer exclusively to human females. It requires federal agencies to collect sex-disaggregated data based on biological sex at birth for compliance with antidiscrimination laws. The resolution aims to clarify legal interpretations in areas like athletics, shelters, and data reporting, though it does not create new laws or alter existing statutes. As a non-binding resolution, it has no legal effect but seeks to guide federal implementation of current laws.
