Athletic team designations based on biological sex at birth requirement
SF 2817 requires Minnesota public school athletic teams to be designated as "male," "female," or "coed" based solely on participants' biological sex at birth. It directly affects all school-sponsored interscholastic, intramural, and club athletic programs in Minnesota. The bill mandates that teams designated for females must only include participants who were biologically female at birth, with no exceptions for transgender or non-binary students. This policy change alters how schools organize and admit students to gender-specific sports teams.
