AI Summary

This bill amends state law to require public schools and private schools participating in parental choice programs to designate their athletic teams and sports as either for males, females, or coed/mixed-sex. The bill prohibits male students from participating on female-designated teams and allows students who are deprived of participation or experience retaliation to bring legal action against the educational institution. It also allows educational institutions to bring legal action if they face consequences for complying with the law. The key provisions are the requirements for designating teams by sex, the prohibitions on male participation in female-designated sports, and the legal recourse available to affected students and institutions.
