Bill > AB100

This bill, titled the "Designating athletic sports and teams operated or sponsored by public schools or private schools participating in a parental choice program based on the sex of the participants," aims to amend existing Wisconsin statutes to align athletic participation and locker room usage with the biological sex of students. Specifically, it modifies a statute that prohibits discrimination in school programs based on sex, creating an exception for athletic teams and sports. The bill introduces new provisions that require educational institutions, including public schools, charter schools, and private schools participating in parental choice programs (which allow parents to use public funds for private school tuition), to designate athletic teams and sports as being for males, females, or mixed-sex/coed, based on the "biological sex" of the participants, defined as the physical condition of being male or female at birth as stated on an original birth certificate. It prohibits male students from participating on female-designated teams and allows female students who are denied opportunities or harmed by violations to bring legal action. Furthermore, the bill mandates that locker rooms in schools be designated for the exclusive use of one biological sex, with specific exceptions for custodial, maintenance, medical assistance, or emergency situations, and requires reasonable accommodations for students who request them, such as the use of single-occupancy or staff locker rooms.
