AI Summary
This bill aims to protect fairness in women's sports by designating athletic teams, sports, and events as either for females, males, or coeducational/mixed based on the biological sex of the participating students. It prohibits biological males from participating in female sports and provides a private cause of action for students who suffer harm from a violation of this provision. The bill also protects schools, school districts, and higher education institutions from liability for complying with the law and requires the state attorney general to provide legal representation and cover expenses for any lawsuits or complaints against these entities or individuals resulting from their compliance.
