Bill > HCR2003

This Concurrent Resolution, titled "Interscholastic; intramural athletics; biological sex," proposes a law, to be enacted if approved by voters, that would require schools and athletic associations in Arizona to designate interscholastic and intramural athletic teams and sports as "Males," "men," or "boys," or "Females," "women," or "girls," or "Coeducational" or "mixed," based on the biological sex of the athletes. The resolution specifies that teams designated for females cannot be open to athletes of the male sex, and it also prohibits individuals from using restrooms, locker rooms, or shower rooms that are not designated for their sex, starting January 1, 2027. Furthermore, it states that government entities or athletic associations cannot take adverse action against a school for maintaining separate teams for female athletes and grants a private right of action for athletes or schools harmed by violations of these provisions, with a two-year statute of limitations for civil actions. The resolution is also known as the "Protect Girls' Sports in Arizona Act."
