HB111 Summary

• Amends Alabama Code Section 1-1-1 to define sex-based terms including "male," "female," "man," "woman," "boy," and "girl" based on reproductive biology as observed or clinically verified at birth.

• Establishes legislative policy that sex is objective and fixed, does not include gender identity, and that there are only two sexes; individuals with differences in sex development must be accommodated consistent with state and federal law.

• Permits state and political subdivisions to establish separate single-sex spaces or environments for males and females when biology, privacy, safety, or fairness are implicated.

• Requires school districts, public schools, and state agencies collecting vital statistics on sex to identify each individual as either male or female; allows "unknown" entry only when sex cannot be medically determined at time of reporting to Office of Vital Statistics.

• Becomes effective October 1, 2024; clarifies that the act does not deny identification on state-issued documentation consistent with an individual's gender identity.
