AN ACT PROHIBITING BIOLOGICAL MALES FROM COMPETING IN FEMALE SPORTS.

HB 5853 prohibits biological males from participating on female athletic teams in school sports. It directly affects female athletes in interscholastic (school-to-school) and intramural (within a school) athletic events. The bill amends state law to ban biological males from competing on teams designated for females. This policy change applies to all public and private K-12 schools participating in these athletic programs.
