Stop the Invasion of Women’s Spaces Act
HR 1017 prohibits federal funding to private entities, state/local governments, or non-Federal agencies that allow individuals to access single-sex facilities (like restrooms, locker rooms, or changing rooms) based on gender identity rather than biological sex. The bill defines "biological sex" as male or female based on reproductive anatomy, and "single-sex facility" as spaces intended for one biological sex. Exceptions apply for emergency medical personnel responding to medical emergencies or law enforcement officers actively pursuing suspects or conducting investigations. This law directly affects organizations receiving federal funds that operate such facilities, requiring them to restrict access based on biological sex to maintain funding.
