Bill Summary

To protect women's rights by allowing only biological females to use female locker rooms and facilities and participate on public female-only athletic teams.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend titles 10 and 10a of the general statutes to restrict participation in public female-only athletic teams and access to female locker rooms and facilities to individuals who are biological females, specifically prohibiting biological males from competing on female athletic teams or using female-designated spaces in intercollegiate, interscholastic, and intramural settings. The legislation defines participation and access based on an individual's sex assigned at birth, effectively preventing transgender athletes who were assigned male at birth from participating in women's sports or using women's facilities. The bill's stated purpose is to protect women's rights by ensuring that only biological females can use female-designated spaces and compete on female-only athletic teams, reflecting a broader national debate about transgender participation in sports and gender-specific spaces. The proposed changes would apply to public educational institutions and athletic programs, potentially impacting school and college sports and facility policies.
