Bill > HB0060

This bill establishes strict regulations regarding student participation in athletic activities based on biological sex, primarily focusing on preventing students assigned male at birth from competing in female sports. The legislation defines key terms such as "female" and "male" based on reproductive system characteristics and expands the definition of "school" to include institutions of higher education like the University of Wyoming and community colleges. The bill prohibits students of the male sex from competing in athletic activities designated for females, and provides new legal mechanisms for schools, students, and parents to seek injunctive relief or damages if they believe the law has been violated. Additionally, the bill creates provisions that prevent government entities or athletic associations from taking adverse actions against schools maintaining separate athletic activities for females and establishes that schools cannot participate in female sports with teams they believe include male students. The legislation will become effective on July 1, 2025, and requires the University of Wyoming and Wyoming community colleges to implement the necessary changes by that date. The bill also repeals some existing procedures related to student eligibility and provides a two-year statute of limitations for filing civil actions related to violations of these provisions.
