AI Summary

This bill, known as the Fairness in Women's Sports Act, aims to ensure equal opportunities for students to participate in school-sponsored athletic teams and events based on their biological sex. It requires that teams designated as "female," "girls," or "women's" be reserved for biological females, while allowing biological males to participate on "male," "boys," or coeducational teams. The bill also protects schools and their employees from liability for enforcing these provisions and allows biological female students who are harmed by violations to seek legal recourse. The bill cites physiological differences between biological males and females as the justification for these sex-based classifications in sports.
