Summary

The bill mandates that any athletic team or sport run by a public school district, charter, or state‑run college must be expressly designated as male, female, or coed based on a student’s sex at birth. It bars female‑designated teams from admitting male students and gives students the right to sue schools for lost opportunities or harm caused by a wrongful designation, as well as protection against retaliation. The measure also shields schools from complaints about keeping separate female teams.
