AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION -- FAIRNESS IN WOMEN'S SPORTS ACT

Summary

The bill would amend Rhode Island’s education statutes so that any interscholastic, intercollegiate, intramural or club sport at public schools or public colleges must be classified as male, female, or co‑ed based on a student’s biological sex. It would prohibit students identified as male from participating on female‑designated teams, and allows a student to prove sex with a physician’s statement covering anatomy, testosterone levels and genetics. The measure also creates private legal rights for students and schools if the rule is violated.
