AI Summary
This bill restricts male student participation in female athletics, prohibiting them from trying out for or participating on female-only teams. It also restricts male access to female-only changing facilities, designating communal restrooms, locker rooms, and other facilities as either female-only or male-only. The bill defines "male" as a person with a heterogametic sex chromosome pair consisting of one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. It imposes criminal penalties, including a petty misdemeanor for a male student who participates on a female-only team and a misdemeanor for a male who uses a female-only facility. The bill amends existing law and proposes new coding in Minnesota Statutes to implement these changes.
