SB211: Relative to biological sex in student athletics.
Engrossed
Senate
Keyword matches: ["gender_sex", "athletics"]
Summary
This bill would have required student athletics to be categorized by 'biological sex' (sex assigned at birth), effectively excluding transgender student-athletes, particularly transgender girls and women, from participating in sports teams that align with their gender identity. While this specific bill failed, similar legislation could reappear in future sessions.
