AI Summary

This bill requires elementary and secondary schools that receive public funding to ensure that student athletes participate in school-sanctioned sports based on their biological sex as indicated on their birth certificate at the time of birth. If a school violates this provision, it will immediately lose its public funding, which can be restored if the school is found to be in compliance. The bill also establishes a civil penalty of up to $10,000 for a state or local official who willfully and intentionally violates or attempts to frustrate the intent of the law, and it requires the official's office to be vacated, with a five-year ban on holding public office or a position as a school administrator or principal.
