Bill > SF2817

This bill proposes to modify Minnesota education statutes by establishing new requirements for athletic team designations in schools, specifically mandating that school-sponsored athletic teams (including interscholastic, intramural, and club teams) must be designated and composed based solely on a student's biological sex at birth. Under this proposed legislation, teams would be categorized into three possible groups: male teams, female teams, or coed teams, with a specific provision stating that teams designated as "female" can only include participants who were biologically female at birth. This means that transgender students would be restricted from participating in sports teams that do not align with their biological sex at birth, effectively preventing transgender athletes from competing on teams that match their gender identity. The bill aims to add a new subdivision to Minnesota Statutes section 123B.49, which governs school district powers and duties, specifically focusing on athletic team composition and participation rules.
