AI Summary
This bill, the "Fairness in Women's Sports Act," requires the Board of Education or its designated agency to promulgate regulations or bylaws that designate all school athletic teams, activities, and sports in grades 6-12 as either "Boys," "Coed," or "Girls." The bill prohibits male students from participating on "Girls" teams and allows schools to maintain separate teams for female students without facing any adverse action. It also allows students' biological sex at birth, as indicated on their birth certificate or an affidavit from a medical professional, to be used to determine eligibility for single-sex athletic opportunities at the postsecondary level. The bill creates a cause of action for violations and requires any legal action to be brought within two years.
