1 AN ACT concerning sex-based classification.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the
5 Classification by Biological Sex Act.
6 Section 5. Findings. The General Assembly finds that:
7 (1) When it comes to biological sex, "equal" not does
8 not mean "same" or "identical".
9 (2) Policies and laws that distinguish between the
10 sexes are subject to intermediate constitutional scrutiny,
11 which forbids unfair discrimination against similarly
12 situated males and females, but allows the law to
13 distinguish between the sexes if doing so is substantially
14 related to important governmental objectives.
15 Section 10. Data classification. Any public school or
16 school district and any State or local agency, department, or
17 office that collects vital statistics for the purpose of
18 complying with antidiscrimination laws or for the purpose of
19 gathering public health, crime, economic, or other data shall
20 classify each individual who is part of the collected data set
21 as either male or female at birth.
