Modifies guidelines for student participation in athletic contests organized by sex

Summary

The bill requires Missouri public and private schools, charter schools, and colleges to base athletic team eligibility on the sex listed on a student's birth certificate or other government record. It bars students from joining teams designated for the opposite biological sex, except that a female student may compete on a male team if no female team is offered. Schools that violate the rule could lose state aid and could be sued for injunctive relief and attorney fees.
