AI Summary
This bill, known as the Fair Play for Girls Act, requires the Attorney General to submit a comprehensive report to several Congressional committees within one year of the Act's enactment. The report must analyze key issues related to women in athletics, including obstacles to fair competition, specifically focusing on situations where biological female athletes lose opportunities (such as medals or championships) when competing against biological males. The report will examine the effectiveness of state laws addressing potential bodily harm and loss of opportunities for female athletes, investigate the prevalence and root causes of online violence and harassment against women and girls in sports, and assess the frequency of sexual harassment and abuse in athletics. Additionally, the Attorney General must evaluate the effectiveness of existing federal and state laws designed to prevent sexual harassment and abuse in women's sports. The report must also include policy recommendations to address the issues identified in the analysis, with the overall goal of promoting fair and safe athletic environments for female athletes.
