HB1184

This bill adds legal definitions of "male," "female," "man," "woman," "boy," and "girl" throughout South Dakota law based on biological reproductive characteristics, and prohibits state funding for anything that contradicts these definitions. The bill rewrites existing definitions in state code and applies these terms consistently across multiple areas of law, including marriage, adoption, and other legal matters. This effectively restricts how the state recognizes gender identity in legal and administrative contexts.
