AI Summary
This bill, the Fairness in Women's Sports Act, provides for sports activities in public institutions of higher education and public school entities to be expressly designated as male, female, or coed. It creates causes of action for harms suffered by individuals due to such designations, allows schools to bring actions for violations of the law, and defines key terms such as "public institution of higher education" and "sex." The bill aims to ensure fairness in women's sports by prohibiting male students from participating on female athletic teams and providing legal recourse for violations of the law.
