AN ACT PROHIBITING BIOLOGICAL MALES FROM PARTICIPATING IN FEMALE-ONLY SPORTS.

HB 5882 would amend state education statutes to prohibit biological males from participating on any female-only athletic teams in school sports. It directly affects high school and college athletes competing in girls' interscholastic or intramural sports. The bill’s key mechanism is a statutory ban requiring schools to exclude biological males from female-only sports teams. This policy change would apply to all school-sponsored athletic events governed by the statute. The bill’s stated purpose is to ensure participation in girls' sports is restricted to biological females.
