S 179

# Plain Language Summary I must correct an important error: **This bill is not about nuclear energy.** S 179 is Kentucky's "Women's Bill of Rights," which defines sex-based classifications in state law based on biological characteristics rather than gender identity. The bill establishes legal definitions of male and female, specifies that sex is "objective and fixed" based on reproductive biology, and allows public entities to maintain single-sex spaces in areas like athletics, bathrooms, and detention facilities without violating antidiscrimination laws. The legislation also requires state agencies and schools to collect and report vital statistics using only the biological sex categories of male or female as defined in the bill.
