Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
ADA protections for sex development differences
People born with a diagnosed difference in sex development have protections under the Americans with Disabilities Act. They can seek disability accommodations and legal protections in covered settings. This clarifies their rights under state law.
Sex-based team rules for students
The law requires school and college sports teams to be labeled male, female, or coed. Male students cannot play on teams labeled for females. Female students cannot play on teams labeled for males unless no girls’ team exists in that sport. To join a sex‑designated team, a student must give a doctor‑signed document that confirms the student’s sex. These rules apply to public schools and to private schools that compete with public schools or are in athletic groups. Getting a doctor’s note can cost families money.
Schools set policies; outside probes barred
Each covered school and college must adopt a policy to carry out this law. The policy must also set rules for visitors and the public at events. Government agencies, accrediting bodies, and athletic groups cannot take complaints, investigate, or punish schools for having female‑only teams. This applies to public schools and to private schools covered by the law. The law does not provide funding for these tasks.
