HR 9701 United States House · 119th Congress

Daughters of the American Revolution Membership Integrity Act.

This bill, known as the Daughters of the American Revolution Membership Integrity Act, amends federal law to explicitly limit membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution to adult human females. It defines a female as someone who naturally possesses or would have the reproductive system capable of producing ova for fertilization, regardless of any congenital anomalies or medical disruptions. By adding this specific definition to the organization's governing code, the legislation clarifies the genealogical and biological requirements for joining the group. The change directly affects the organization's eligibility rules but does not alter its internal operations or funding.
