SIXTY-EIGHTH LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WYOMING
2025 GENERAL SESSION

regulations; providing for the law to distinguish between
accommodations for males and females; requiring the
collection of vital statistics and other data to identify
persons as male or female at birth; and providing for an
effective date.
Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Wyoming:
Section 1. W.S. 8-1-110 is created to read:

under any law or rule and regulation in this state, the
following definitions and standards shall apply:
(i) A person's "sex" means the person's
biological sex, either male or female, at birth;

have or would have had, but for a congenital anomaly or
intentional or unintentional disruption, the reproductive
system that at some point produces, transports and utilizes

system that at some point produces, transports and utilizes
sperm for fertilization;
(iv) The terms "woman" and "girl" refer to human
females, and the terms "man" and "boy" refer to human
males;
(v) "Mother" means a parent of the female sex;
(vi) "Father" means a parent of the male sex;
(vii) With respect to biological sex, the term
"equal" does not mean "same" or "identical";
(viii) With respect to biological sex, separate
accommodations are not inherently unequal; and
(ix) A person born with a medically recognized
condition of a disorder or difference in sex development
shall not be denied legal protections and accommodations
afforded under applicable law.
(b) The legislature finds that laws, rules and
regulations that distinguish between the sexes are subject
to intermediate constitutional scrutiny. Intermediate
constitutional scrutiny forbids unfair discrimination
against similarly situated male and female persons but
allows the law to distinguish between the sexes where such
distinctions are substantially related to important
governmental objectives.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the
contrary, laws, rules and regulations that recognize or
enforce distinctions between the sexes with respect to
athletics, prisons or other detention facilities, domestic ORIGINAL HOUSE ENGROSSED

important governmental objectives of protecting the health,
safety and privacy of persons in such circumstances.

and any state agency, department, office or other political
subdivision that collects vital statistics for the purpose
of complying with anti-discrimination laws or for the
purpose of gathering accurate public health, crime,
economic or other data shall, when identification by sex is
used, identify each person who is part of the collected
data set as either male or female consistent with the
persons sex at birth. ORIGINAL HOUSE ENGROSSED
