Summary

The bill would prohibit any K‑12 or post‑secondary institution from allowing a student to compete on a team designated for the opposite biological sex as recorded on the student’s birth certificate or other government record, except that a female may join a male team if no female team exists. It ties compliance to state funding and gives parents or students a right to sue for injunctive relief and attorney fees. The measure is intended to preserve athletic opportunities for female students.
