AN ACT CONCERNING PARTICIPATION ON A YOUTH SPORTS TEAM BASED ON ASSIGNED SEX AT BIRTH.

SB 592 would require Connecticut public school youth sports teams to limit participation based on a student's assigned sex at birth. It directly affects public school students, particularly transgender and non-binary youth, by barring them from teams matching their gender identity unless no comparable team exists for their gender. The bill mandates that students can only join teams corresponding to their birth sex, with the exception allowing female-identified students to join boys' teams only when no girls' team is available. This policy change alters existing participation rules by prioritizing birth sex over gender identity for public school athletic eligibility.
