Bill Summary
Creates the requirement of school sports to designate sex-specific teams for the purpose of gender equality.
AI Summary
This bill requires schools to designate separate athletic teams or sports based on biological sex, designating them as either for males, females, or coed/mixed. It prohibits male students from participating in female teams, and allows schools to resolve disputes about a student's sex by requesting a healthcare provider's verification based on their reproductive anatomy, genetics, or testosterone levels. The bill also protects schools from any adverse action for maintaining separate teams and provides a private cause of action for students who are deprived of athletic opportunities or suffer harm due to violations of this law.
