Bill > HB05853

This bill proposes to amend existing state statutes to prohibit biological males (individuals assigned male at birth) from participating in female athletic teams during interscholastic (between schools) and intramural (within a school) athletic events. The proposed legislation aims to restrict transgender women or individuals assigned male at birth from competing on sports teams designated for female athletes. By introducing this prohibition, the bill seeks to maintain what its proponents likely view as a competitive balance and fairness in women's sports, though the specific definitions and enforcement mechanisms are not detailed in the provided text. The bill appears to be part of a broader national conversation about transgender athletes' participation in sports and the interpretation of gender identity in competitive athletic settings.
