Bill Intelligence
The bill, "Title IX Clarification Act of 2026", seeks to amend the Education Amendments of 1972 by defining "sex" as an individual’s biologically determined sex, as either male or female. Furthermore, it clarifies that "female" refers to an individual who naturally has, had, will have, or would have, but for certain conditions, the reproductive system that produces, transports, and utilizes the large gamete (ova) for fertilization, while "male" refers to an individual with the reproductive system that produces, transports, and utilizes the small gamete (sperm) for fertilization. These changes will apply to education programs receiving federal financial assistance.
