SF 2294 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Male participation in female athletics restriction provision, male access to female changing facilities restriction provision, and criminal penalties provision

This bill restricts male students from participating in female-only athletic teams and accessing female-changing facilities in Minnesota public schools. It defines "male" as having XY chromosomes and prohibits male students from trying out for or joining girls' teams (penalized as a petty misdemeanor), while allowing schools to maintain sex-segregated teams only if athletic opportunities for that sex were previously limited. The bill also prohibits males from using female-only locker rooms, showers, or dressing facilities (penalized as a misdemeanor). These provisions apply to all K-12 public schools and athletic programs, effective August 1, 2025.
