AI Summary

This bill, titled the Protection of Women in Olympic and Amateur Sports Act of 2026, aims to modify eligibility requirements for amateur sports governing organizations by defining key terms and establishing new rules. Specifically, it amends existing law to define "female" as an individual with a reproductive system that produces eggs, "male" as an individual with a reproductive system that produces sperm, and "sex" as an individual's biological sex, either male or female, with allowances for developmental or genetic anomalies. The bill then adds a provision to Section 220522 of title 36, United States Code, which prohibits individuals whose sex is male from participating in amateur athletic competitions designated for females, women, or girls, thereby clarifying and strengthening policies related to sex-based eligibility in sports.
