## Summary

**This bill would require that amateur athletic events be limited to competitors' sex as biologically determined.** It would add definitions of 'sex', 'male', and 'female' based on biological characteristics at conception and make that definition a required eligibility rule for Olympic, Paralympic, Pan‑American, Parapan American, and similar sanctioned competitions. - Athletes — Would have to compete only in events that correspond to the athlete's sex as defined in the bill. The bill says 'sex' is the biological classification at conception and defines 'male' and 'female' by reproductive system function. - National governing bodies — Would be required to include that sex‑based eligibility rule as an eligibility criterion for their sanctioned status under Title 36 of U.S. law. - Competitions and event organizers — Would have to continue sanctioning single‑sex competitions that the governing body sanctioned during the prior 10‑year period. A governing body could not rescind or change the sex categories for events previously sanctioned, except as needed to follow the new rule, and may still sanction competitions open to both males and females.
