What this bill would do
This bill, titled the "Stop the Invasion of Women's Spaces Act," aims to restrict federal funding. It prohibits an entity from receiving federal funds, directly or indirectly, if they allow access to single-sex facilities that do not match a person's biological sex. Single-sex facilities include spaces like restrooms, locker rooms, or changing rooms. The bill defines biological sex based on reproductive systems. Exceptions are made for emergency medical personnel and law enforcement officers.
