AI Summary

This bill aims to designate University of Wisconsin and technical college sports and athletic teams based on the sex of the participants. It amends existing laws to require institutions to expressly designate their athletic teams and sports as for males/men, females/women, or coed/mixed-sex, and prohibit students of the male sex from participating on female/women's teams. The bill also provides legal recourse for students who are deprived of participation opportunities or face retaliation, and allows institutions to seek legal action if they suffer harm from compliance with the law. The key provisions of the bill are the requirements for sex-based designations of athletic teams and the legal protections and remedies it establishes.
