HR 7421 United States House · 119th Congress

SAFE Olympic Sports Act

HR 7421, the SAFE Olympic Sports Act, requires national governing bodies for Olympic sports to maintain eligibility rules based on an athlete's biological sex as defined in the bill. It mandates that competitions must restrict participation to athletes whose sex at conception aligns with the event's category (e.g., female-only events for those biologically female). The bill defines "sex" as an immutable biological classification determined at conception, with specific biological criteria for male and female. This applies to Olympic, Paralympic, Pan-American, and other sanctioned amateur competitions, requiring governing bodies to continue sanctioning single-sex events they previously approved.
