Bill > HCR2003

This joint resolution, titled the "Protect Girls' Sports in Arizona Act," proposes a law that, if approved by voters, would require schools and athletic associations in Arizona to designate interscholastic and intramural athletic teams and sports based on the biological sex of the athletes, meaning teams would be categorized as "males," "men," or "boys," or "females," "women," or "girls," with "coeducational" or "mixed" as an option, and would prohibit athletes of the male sex from participating in teams designated for females. Starting January 1, 2027, this resolution also mandates that private spaces like locker rooms and restrooms integral to athletic engagement must be designated and used according to an individual's sex as recorded on their original birth certificate, and it establishes that any athlete deprived of an athletic opportunity or suffering harm due to a violation of these provisions can pursue legal action, including seeking damages and injunctive relief, and also allows schools to take legal action against entities that cause them harm through violations of this act. The resolution defines "athlete" as any individual participating in interscholastic or intramural sports, "athletic association" as an organization primarily sponsoring athletic contests, "school" as any public or private school serving kindergarten through twelfth grade or an institution of higher education, and "sex" as an individual's biological status as male or female as recorded at birth.
