Bill > HR0040

This resolution strongly urges the Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA) to update its athlete eligibility rules in accordance with Executive Order 14201, which opposes male participation in women's athletics. The resolution highlights that the National Collegiate Athletic Association has already modified its policies to limit women's sports competition to athletes assigned female at birth, while the MHSAA has delayed taking similar action. The resolution argues that continued noncompliance could potentially jeopardize federal funding for school districts and create risks for female athletes, including potential injuries and unfair competitive conditions. By passing this resolution, the House of Representatives is formally requesting that the MHSAA revise its rules to preserve what the resolution describes as the "integrity of competition and the safety of female athletes." Additionally, the resolution mandates that copies of the resolution be sent to key government leaders, including the President of the United States, the Speaker of the House, the Senate President pro tempore, and the Executive Director of the MHSAA, to ensure widespread communication of this formal encouragement.
