The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 121A.04, by adding a new subdivision that restricts participation in female sports teams at the elementary and secondary school levels to students identified as female. According to the new legal language, only students of the female sex may participate in athletic teams or sports designated for women or girls. In cases where there is a dispute regarding a student's sex, the bill requires the student to provide a signed physician's statement that confirms their sex based on specific criteria, including their reproductive anatomy, testosterone levels, and chromosomal analysis.

This new provision is set to take effect on July 1, 2025. The bill aims to clarify and enforce the participation criteria for female sports teams, ensuring that only those identified as female can compete in these designated athletic events.
