Bill Summary
A bill for an act relating to education policy; requiring athletic team designations based on biological sex at birth; amending Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 123B.49, by adding a subdivision.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Minnesota's education statutes by establishing new rules for athletic team designations in schools. Specifically, the bill requires that all school-sponsored interscholastic, intramural, or club athletic teams be categorized and composed exclusively based on biological sex at birth, with three possible team designations: males, females, or coed. For female-designated teams, participation would be limited strictly to individuals who were biological females at birth. This means that transgender athletes would be required to compete only on teams that match their biological sex assigned at birth, effectively prohibiting transgender students from participating on teams that align with their gender identity. The bill appears aimed at standardizing athletic team composition based on biological characteristics and potentially limiting transgender athletes' participation in school sports.
