Bill Summary

A bill to require awards, rankings, and records of outcomes in separate female and male sporting events to be categorized consistent with each competitor's biological sex.

AI Summary

This bill, called the Female Athletics Integrity of Records (FAIR) Act, proposes to establish rules for publicly funded sports events with separate male and female competitions. The bill defines "biological sex" as the innate, objective biological condition determined at conception, specifically the state of being female or male. It applies to individual sporting events that are partially or fully publicly funded and have separate competitions for males and females. The key provision is that regardless of which gender-designated competition an athlete participates in, official awards, rankings, and records must be categorized according to the competitor's biological sex at conception. This means that even if an athlete competes in a category different from their biological sex, their results would still be recorded under their original biological sex. The bill aims to create a standardized approach to athletic record-keeping that is based on biological sex rather than gender identity or current gender classification.
