AI Summary
This bill seeks to amend Georgia's education laws to provide a definition for the term "gender" and to classify athletic events or activities based on this definition. The bill defines "gender" as a person's biological sex at birth, as determined by their reproductive organs. It allows for a waiver process if a student (or their parent/guardian) requests an exception to the gender-based classification. The bill also requires the athletic association that oversees high school sports in Georgia to comply with these new provisions, report annually on related requests and petitions, and ensure non-discrimination in athletic opportunities. Finally, the bill repeals any conflicting laws.
