Bill > A1630

This bill, the "Fairness in Women's Sport Act," aims to ensure fairness in athletic competitions by designating school and college sports teams as either for males, females, or coed based on biological sex. It prohibits male students from competing on female sports teams, and requires students to provide a physician's statement to establish their biological sex based on reproductive anatomy, testosterone levels, and genetic makeup if disputed. The bill also allows students who are deprived of athletic opportunities or suffer harm due to violations of the act to bring private lawsuits, and protects schools from adverse actions by government entities or athletic associations for maintaining separate teams. The underlying rationale is that male athletes generally have physiological advantages over female athletes due to factors like higher testosterone levels and muscle mass.
