Bill Summary

A bill for an act relating to student eligibility requirements in school district, accredited nonpublic school, charter school, community college, and regent institution athletics based on sex.(See SF 2342.)

AI Summary

This Study Bill establishes that athletic teams, sports, or events sponsored by educational institutions, including public school districts, accredited nonpublic schools, charter schools, community colleges, and regent institutions, must be designated for either females, males, or coeducational participation, with eligibility determined by a student's biological sex at birth, as indicated on their birth certificate or adoption certificate. It specifies that only female students can participate in female-designated athletics, and it removes protections for institutions that do not comply, while also granting students a legal right to sue if they are harmed by a violation of these rules, and providing legal defense and financial responsibility for educational institutions and their employees who comply with the bill's provisions.
