AI Summary
This bill, known as the Save Women's Sports Act, would require schools, state institutions of higher education, and private colleges in Ohio to designate separate single-sex teams and sports for male and female participants. The bill prohibits individuals of the male sex from participating on athletic teams or in competitions designated only for female participants. It also provides for private causes of action for individuals who are deprived of athletic opportunities or suffer harm due to violations of the law, and prohibits state agencies or athletic associations from taking adverse action against schools for maintaining separate single-sex teams. The bill aims to preserve fairness and opportunities for female athletes in interscholastic and intercollegiate athletics.
