Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend 36.12 (1) and 38.23 (1); to create 36.25 (58), 36.25 (59), 38.12 (15) and 38.12 (16) of the statutes; relating to: designating University of Wisconsin and technical college sports and athletic teams based on the biological sex of the participants and the use of locker rooms by students.
AI Summary
This bill mandates that sports and athletic teams at the University of Wisconsin (UW) and Wisconsin technical colleges must be designated based on the biological sex of the participants, meaning male or female, or as coed. "Biological sex" is defined as the physical condition of being male or female at birth, as indicated on an individual's original birth certificate. The bill prohibits students of the male biological sex from participating in teams designated for females. Furthermore, it requires that locker rooms, including shower areas, be designated for the exclusive use of individuals of one biological sex, with specific exceptions for custodial, maintenance, medical assistance, or emergency situations, and allows for reasonable accommodations for students who request them, such as the use of single-occupancy locker rooms. This legislation amends existing laws that prohibit discrimination in educational institutions, creating new provisions for athletic team designations and locker room usage.
