AI Summary
This bill creates a new chapter in the North Dakota Century Code that requires schools to designate their athletic teams and sports as either for males, females, or coed participation. It prohibits schools from allowing students of the male sex to participate in athletic teams or sports designated for females. The bill also prohibits government entities, licensing or accrediting organizations, and athletic associations from taking adverse action against a school for maintaining separate athletic teams or sports for female students. The bill provides a private cause of action for students who are deprived of athletic opportunities or suffer harm due to a school's violation of the law, as well as for students who face retaliation for reporting such violations. Schools that suffer harm due to violations of the law are also granted a private cause of action.
