Bill > HCR002

This concurrent resolution honors and commends the Boise State University women's volleyball team for their principled stance in defending women's sports by forfeiting matches against San Jose State University, which included a biological male on its roster. The resolution provides context about the historical importance of women's sports, highlighting how Title IX has increased female sports participation from one in 27 girls to two in five girls participating in high school sports. The resolution calls on the Mountain West Conference to correct team records and treat the forfeits as "no contests," and urges the NCAA to revoke its current transgender student-athlete participation policy, which the legislature argues disproportionately affects female athletes. Additionally, the resolution reaffirms Idaho's commitment to protecting female athletes through state legislation like the Fairness in Women's Sports Act and Governor Little's Executive Order. The document instructs the House Chief Clerk to distribute copies of the resolution to various stakeholders, including Boise State University leadership, the NCAA, and the Mountain West Conference, emphasizing the state's dedication to preserving fairness and integrity in women's sports.
