What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires each University of Wisconsin institution and technical college

that operates or sponsors an intercollegiate, intramural, or club athletic team or

sport to designate the athletic team or sport as falling into one of three categories

based on the sex of the participating students. The three categories are 1)

participants who are males or men; 2) participants who are females or women; and

3) coed or participants of both sexes. The bill defines “sex” as the sex assigned at birth

by a physician. The bill also requires a UW institution or technical college to prohibit

a male student from participating on an athletic team or in a sport designated for

females or women. Finally, the bill requires the UW institution or technical college

to notify students if the institution or technical college intends to change a

designation for an athletic team or sport.
