The bill aims to restrict participation in female sports teams at the elementary and secondary school levels to individuals identified as female based on biological sex. It introduces a new subdivision to Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 121A.04, titled the "Preserving Girls' Sports Act," which stipulates that only female students may participate in athletic teams designated for women and girls. The bill defines "female" as an individual whose reproductive system is biologically determined, and it clarifies the definitions of "woman" and "girl" as adult and minor human females, respectively. This section will take effect the day after final enactment.

Additionally, the bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 128C.02, by adding a subdivision that mandates the league to adopt rules and policies that align with the new restrictions outlined in section 121A.04, subdivision 4a. This ensures that the league's regulations are consistent with the intent of preserving female-only sports participation as defined in the bill.
