Bill > SF10

This bill, known as the Preserving Girls' Sports Act, proposes to establish new rules for school athletic teams in Minnesota by requiring that interscholastic, intramural, and club athletic teams be designated based on participants' biological sex at birth. Specifically, teams would be categorized as male, female, or coed, with female teams being exclusively reserved for individuals who were biological females at birth. The bill would amend two existing statutes: section 121A.04 by adding a new subdivision about sports participation, and section 128C.02 to require that the state athletic league adopt rules consistent with the new subdivision. The key provision restricts participation in female sports teams to only those who were identified as female at birth, effectively preventing transgender athletes who were assigned male at birth from competing on female teams. The bill would become effective the day after its final enactment, and it aims to preserve what the bill's proponents would likely describe as fairness in girls' sports by maintaining sex-specific team designations based on biological sex at birth.
