Bill > SB00690

This bill aims to provide legal protection for interscholastic athletic organizations and private youth organization sanctioning bodies by granting them civil immunity when they implement policies requiring athletes to compete on sports teams that match the gender listed on their birth certificate, rather than their current gender identity. Specifically, the bill would amend existing state statutes to ensure that these organizations cannot be sued for adopting such gender-restrictive athletic participation policies. This means that if a youth or school sports organization creates a rule mandating that athletes must play on teams corresponding to the sex assigned at birth, they would be shielded from potential civil lawsuits that might challenge these gender-based participation restrictions. The bill appears to be part of a broader legal trend addressing transgender athletes' participation in sports, effectively protecting organizations that choose to limit team participation based on birth certificate gender designation.
