AI Summary
This bill requires public schools and public institutions of higher education in Texas to designate their interscholastic, intramural, and other extracurricular athletic teams as either for participation by only students of the same biological sex or for students of both biological sexes. It prohibits biologically male students from participating on teams designated for only biologically female students. The bill allows students and schools to take legal action if they are deprived of athletic opportunities or suffer harm due to violations of these requirements.
