Amends TCA Title 4; Title 37; Title 41; Title 49 and Title 68.

Tennessee SB0468, titled the "Women's Safety and Protection Act," amends various sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated to clarify definitions of "female," "male," and "sex" based on biological characteristics, and to establish protections for women and girls against sexual assault and harassment in specific facilities. The bill affects public institutions, including schools, domestic violence shelters, correctional facilities, and juvenile detention centers, mandating that these entities provide separate accommodations based on biological sex. Key provisions include requirements for privacy in restrooms and changing areas, prohibitions against individuals of the opposite sex using designated facilities, and the establishment of legal recourse for violations.
