Summary
The bill says that when federal nondiscrimination rules are applied to schools and other education activities that receive federal aid, any discrimination prohibited under Title IX must be judged based on a person's biological sex. It would affect K‑12 schools, colleges, universities and any other programs that get federal funding. The aim is to give a clear, uniform definition for how Title IX is enforced.
