Bill Summary
Schools, public K-12, athletic events allowing competition by one biological gender against another prohibited unless the event specifically includes both genders
AI Summary
This bill prohibits public K-12 schools in Alabama from participating in, sponsoring, or providing coaching staff for interscholastic athletic events that allow biological males to compete against biological females, unless the event specifically includes both genders. The bill cites differences in physical attributes between biological males and females, such as larger body size, more muscle mass, and higher testosterone levels, which can provide a significant competitive advantage for biological males. The bill aims to ensure equal opportunities for biological female athletes and a fair playing field.
