Bill Summary
A bill to amend 1976 PA 453, entitled"Elliott-Larsen civil rights act,"(MCL 37.2101 to 37.2804) by adding section 405.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act by adding a provision that allows K-12 educational institutions to determine an athlete's eligibility to participate in school sports based on their biological sex as recorded on their original birth certificate, rather than their gender identity. Specifically, the bill creates an exemption to existing civil rights protections that would otherwise prohibit discrimination based on sex or gender. The bill permits schools subject to Title IX (a federal law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in educational programs receiving federal funding) to use an individual's biological sex at birth as the sole criteria for athletic participation, potentially preventing transgender students from participating in sports teams aligned with their gender identity. This provision could impact transgender students' ability to compete in school sports by requiring them to participate on teams that match the sex listed on their original birth certificate.
