Bill Summary
Requiring participation in athletic or sporting events be based on athlete's biological gender
AI Summary
This bill requires that participation in athletic or sporting events at public schools, colleges, and universities in West Virginia be based on the athlete's biological sex at birth. It establishes that athletic teams or sports designated for females, women, or girls cannot be open to students of the male sex. The bill provides a process for students to establish their sex through a physician's statement and creates a private cause of action for students who are deprived of athletic opportunities or suffer harm due to violations of the law. It also protects educational institutions from adverse actions for maintaining separate athletic teams based on biological sex.
