Bill Summary
Require anyone participating in high school or middle school sports to play per their biological birth gender
AI Summary
This bill, known as the "Save Women's Sports Act," aims to require anyone participating in high school or middle school sports to play per their biological sex at birth. The bill outlines several findings, including that there are inherent physiological differences between males and females that give men an advantage in most sports. It designates athletic teams as either for males, females, or coed, and prohibits biological males from participating on female teams. The bill also provides legal protections for educational institutions that maintain separate teams based on biological sex and allows students or institutions that are harmed by violations of the bill to seek legal recourse.
