Bill > SB00592

This bill proposes to modify existing state law to restrict participation in youth sports teams for public school students based on their sex assigned at birth. Specifically, the legislation would require students to only participate on sports teams that correspond to their biological sex at the time of their birth. There is a single exception to this rule: a female student would be permitted to join a male sports team if no comparable female team exists for that sport. The bill aims to address concerns about gender and sports participation, potentially limiting transgender students' ability to play on teams that align with their gender identity. By tying team participation strictly to assigned sex at birth, the legislation represents a significant change to current practices that may have allowed more flexible team placement based on gender identity or current gender expression. The bill would apply to public school sports teams and seeks to establish a uniform standard for team membership across school districts.
