Bill > HF1233

This bill creates a new exemption in Minnesota's Human Rights Act specifically for women's athletics. The bill allows entities like schools, nonprofits, businesses, and sports organizations to limit participation in female athletic teams and sports competitions to individuals defined as biologically female, based on genetics and reproductive system characteristics. The definition of "female sex" is narrowly specified as someone who naturally has or would have a reproductive system capable of producing and utilizing eggs for fertilization. The bill explicitly permits females to allow males to train or practice with female athletic programs, as long as females are not denied any competitive opportunities. Additionally, the bill prevents government agencies, licensing organizations, and athletic associations from taking adverse actions against entities that implement such sex-specific athletic policies. The legislation appears aimed at ensuring that female athletic teams and competitions remain exclusively for biological females, with an immediate effective date following its enactment.
