West Virginia HB4143 establishes the Women's Bill of Rights, defining sex-based terms and allowing single-sex environments.

West Virginia HB4143, the Women's Bill of Rights, aims to clarify sex discrimination laws and ensure accurate data collection. It defines "sex" as biological male or female at birth, prohibits using "gender identity" as a synonym, and allows single-sex environments for safety and fairness. Public entities can distinguish between sexes in areas like athletics and shelters. The bill also mandates that public schools and agencies identify individuals as male or female for data collection purposes.
