Bill Summary
Relating to participation in athletic events exclusively for males and females
AI Summary
This bill clarifies that interscholastic, intercollegiate, intramural, or club athletic teams or sports in West Virginia must be designated as for males, females, or coed based solely on the biological sex of the athletes at birth. It prohibits females' teams from being open to male students. The bill provides a process for students to establish their sex if disputed, and protects educational institutions from adverse action for maintaining separate teams. The bill also creates a private right of action for students harmed by violations of the law, as well as for schools or institutions harmed by such violations.
