The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5882, seeks to amend title 10 of the general statutes to explicitly prohibit biological males from participating in female-only athletic teams during interscholastic and intramural athletic events. This legislative action is aimed at ensuring that girls' sports remain exclusive to female athletes, thereby addressing concerns regarding fairness and competition in these events.
The bill introduces new legal language that clearly defines the restriction on participation, while there are no deletions from existing law noted in the text provided. The intent of the bill, as stated, is to safeguard the integrity of girls' sports by preventing biological males from competing in these categories.
