Bill Summary
A BILL To prohibit the participation of males in athletic programs or activities at the military service academies that are designated for women or girls.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits males from participating in athletic programs or activities designated for women or girls at the three major U.S. military service academies (West Point, Naval Academy, and Air Force Academy). The Secretary of Defense would be required to enforce this restriction, ensuring that male students cannot join teams specifically created for female athletes. However, the bill includes a nuanced provision allowing males to train or practice with women's teams, as long as no female athlete is disadvantaged in terms of roster spots, competition opportunities, scholarships, or other related benefits. The bill provides specific definitions, clarifying that "athletic programs and activities" includes all programs connected to athletic teams, and "sex" is defined strictly as a person's reproductive biology and genetics at birth. This legislation appears aimed at maintaining what its proponents would view as a clear separation of athletic opportunities based on biological sex in military educational institutions.
