Bill > SB39

This bill establishes guidelines for student participation in athletic contests organized by biological sex. It defines "athletics" as any interscholastic athletic competitions and "sex" as the two main categories of male and female based on reproductive biology at birth and an individual's genome. The bill prohibits schools from allowing students to compete in athletics competitions designated for the opposite biological sex, with an exception for female students to compete in male competitions if no corresponding female competition is offered. The bill also outlines enforcement mechanisms, including withholding state funding for violators and providing a private right of action for affected students and parents. The bill requires the state education departments to promulgate rules and regulations to ensure compliance with confidentiality laws.
