LINCOLN- Laura Strimple, Gov. Jim Pillen's communications director, confirmed Thursday that the governor is exploring ways to prioritize a legal definition of "sex" through legislation during the 2024 session, but that the process "remains under ongoing consideration" as Pillen shapes his 2024 priorities.

Last Friday, a similar proposal was introduced by the Nebraska Department of Administrative Services, but would have to be introduced by one of Nebraska's 49 senators to become law. State Sen. Megan Hunt criticized the proposal, which was revealed to the public through a records request.

In a tweet, Hunt said no such bill should be any agency's "second priority" for 2024. "Not workforce. Not growing our economy. Not reducing government waste," Hunt said, "Just crotch watch." Sarah Skinner, policy adviser to DAS Director Jason Jackson, said the 'sex-defining' proposal was introduced to complement Gov. Pillen's August 30th "Women's Bill of Rights," which defined "male" and "female" as the development of someone's reproductive system.
