Protects women's sports from unfair competition
This bill would require public and private schools to restrict participation in middle and high school sports teams designated exclusively for female athletes to individuals assigned female at birth. It applies specifically to interscholastic and intramural athletic teams for grades 7-12 competing against other schools. The law prohibits schools from allowing anyone else to join these designated female teams, overriding any conflicting education department rules. The bill would take effect July 1, 2025, with necessary rule changes to be finalized before then.
