Filed with the Clerk by Rep. Janet Yang Rohr
Summary
The bill mandates that the statewide athletic association overseeing public‑school sports must conduct an equity impact review whenever it adopts or modifies a policy that reduces opportunities for girls, creates season length differences of more than a week between boys’ and girls’ sports, or fails to equally accommodate both sexes. The review must be completed on a set timeline, posted publicly, and open for at least 30 days of comment before any change is finalized, with the results sent to the State Board of Education, which can issue nonbinding findings. The measure aims to ensure gender‑equitable athletic opportunities for students.
