Fair Play for Women Act
This bill requires schools and colleges receiving federal funding to publicly report detailed data on gender equity in sports, including participation rates, funding, facilities, and coaching staff by gender. It mandates annual training for athletic staff and athletes on Title IX rights and complaint procedures, and establishes a public database of Title IX coordinators. The bill creates civil penalties for institutions that fail to comply with reporting requirements, building on existing Title IX protections. These provisions aim to address documented disparities in athletic opportunities and resources for women and girls compared to men and boys. The bill does not alter Title IX's core requirements but strengthens transparency and enforcement mechanisms for compliance.
