Bill > HF184

This bill, known as the "Save Women's Sports Act," establishes that interscholastic or intramural athletic teams or sports sponsored by educational institutions in Iowa must be designated based on the biological sex of the participating students as male, female, or coed/mixed. It prohibits students of the male sex from participating in athletic teams or sports designated for females. The bill also outlines a process for students to establish their biological sex if disputed, and it prohibits government entities, licensing or accrediting organizations, and athletic associations from taking adverse action against educational institutions for maintaining separate athletic teams or sports based on biological sex. The bill provides for private causes of action and damages for students who are deprived of athletic opportunities or face retaliation, as well as for educational institutions that face adverse action due to violations of the bill's provisions.
