SB 304 Rhode Island Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION -- FAIRNESS IN WOMEN'S SPORTS ACT

SB 304 requires public schools and colleges to designate athletic teams based solely on biological sex at birth (not gender identity). It prohibits transgender girls from competing on girls' teams and mandates verification of biological sex through medical documentation of anatomy, testosterone levels, and genetics. The bill protects institutions maintaining sex-segregated teams from legal challenges and allows students to sue if denied athletic opportunities under this policy. It directly affects transgender female athletes in public education sports programs.
