AI Summary

This bill restricts male student participation in female athletics and access to female changing facilities in Minnesota. It defines "male" as a person with a heterogametic sex chromosome pair (one X and one Y chromosome). The bill amends existing laws to prohibit male students from trying out for or participating on female-only athletic teams, with violations being a petty misdemeanor. It also requires public school and postsecondary institution facilities where students may be in a state of undress to be designated as female-only or male-only, with a male using a female-only facility being a misdemeanor. The provisions in this bill are effective August 1, 2023 and apply to crimes committed on or after that date.
