Bill > SF2531

This bill proposes to modify Minnesota education statutes by establishing a strict rule that only students of the female sex can participate in female-designated school sports teams at the elementary or secondary school level. If there is a question about a student's sex, the bill requires a physician's statement that determines sex based on three specific biological criteria: internal and external reproductive anatomy, naturally occurring testosterone levels, and chromosomal analysis. The bill aims to restrict sports team participation to individuals based on biological sex at birth, effectively preventing transgender or intersex students from participating in female sports teams. The new provision would become effective on July 1, 2025, giving schools and educational institutions time to prepare for and implement the new requirement. By specifying these precise biological markers for sex determination, the bill seeks to create a clear and unambiguous standard for sports team participation that is solely based on biological characteristics.
