Summary

The bill would stop students from joining sports teams or using showers, locker rooms, and restrooms that are designated for the opposite biological sex, using birth certificates or other government records to verify sex. It makes an exception only for a female student to compete on a male team when no female team is offered, and it allows alternative bathroom arrangements if a parent gives written consent. The goal is to protect athletic opportunities for females and keep school facilities separated by biological sex.
