What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires each school board, independent charter school, and private

school participating in a parental choice program (educational institution) that

operates or sponsors an interscholastic, 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 pupils. The three categories are 1) participants who are

males, men, or boys; 2) participants who are females, women, or girls; 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 an educational institution to prohibit a male pupil

from participating on an athletic team or in an athletic sport designated for females,

women, or girls. Finally, the bill requires the educational institution to notify pupils

and parents if an educational institution intends to change a designation for an

athletic team or sport.
