College athletes must play by biological sex
Beginning July 1, 2025, Wyoming colleges must place students on teams based on biological sex as defined in the law. A female student can join a male team only when no female team exists. Female-designated teams cannot play with or against a team the school knows includes a male student. In mixed-sex events, male students cannot fill positions set aside for female students. For individual sports, schools can block a direct matchup with a known male when they find it unsafe or unfair to female students. The law defines male and female by reproductive systems and treats a birth certificate as correct only if filed at or near birth or later fixed for a clerical error.
Enforcing and reporting college sports rules
Beginning July 1, 2025, anyone can sue a Wyoming college that breaks these rules, with money awards up to $50,000 per violation. Courts can also order schools to follow the law and can award lawyer fees and costs to the winning party. Schools cannot retaliate against someone for reporting a violation, but can discipline a student or employee who makes a false report. The University of Wyoming and the community college commission must issue rules to carry out the law and protect student medical privacy.
