Bill Summary

Call On Congress To Reaffirm Title Ix's Protections That Afford Every Woman And Girl Equal Opportunities In Athletics And To Urge The Supreme Court Of The United States To Uphold The Authority Of Every State To Ensure Women's Sports Are Reserved For Females Only.

AI Summary

This resolution, passed by the South Carolina House of Representatives, calls on the U.S. Congress to reaffirm Title IX, a federal law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in federally funded education programs, ensuring equal athletic opportunities for women and girls. It also urges the Supreme Court of the United States to support each state's right to reserve women's sports exclusively for biological females, citing inherent biological differences between males and females that proponents argue create a competitive advantage for males and can compromise the safety and privacy of female athletes. The resolution highlights concerns about fairness and safety in women's sports, referencing specific incidents and arguing that allowing males to compete in women's sports reverses decades of progress for female athletes.
