States Choose Common Sense Act of 2023

HR 6339, the States Choose Common Sense Act of 2023, prohibits the federal government from withholding or revoking federal funds from any state, territory, or local government entity that defines sex based on biological sex at birth. The bill directly affects all 50 states, the District of Columbia, U.S. territories, and their local governments that receive federal funding. Its key provision explicitly bans federal funding cuts for states maintaining laws, regulations, or policies defining sex by biological characteristics determined at birth. This is a procedural policy change preventing federal interference with state definitions of sex for funding purposes.
