Female sports team participation restricted to the female sex.

HF 3170 would require Minnesota public elementary and secondary schools to restrict participation on female sports teams to students identified as female at birth. The bill mandates that students must provide a physician's statement verifying their sex based on reproductive anatomy, natural testosterone levels, and chromosomes if a dispute arises about their sex. This policy applies to all school-level athletic teams designated for women or girls and takes effect July 1, 2025. The bill directly affects student-athletes seeking to participate on female teams and school administrators managing athletic eligibility.
