NCAA urged to set sex-based women's eligibility
If adopted, this resolution would urge the NCAA to revoke its 2010 transgender eligibility policy. It would ask the NCAA to forbid transgender-identifying males from women's rosters and competitions. It would also ask all NCAA conferences to use biological sex for eligibility in every sport and division. This would change who can play on women's college teams but would not change any law by itself.
Sports groups urged to protect women's category
If adopted, this resolution would call on all sports-governing bodies to limit women's events to biological females. It would ask leagues and events to change eligibility and roster rules. This would affect who can enter women's competitions, especially transgender-identifying athletes. It would not change any law or funding by itself.
