This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 123B.49, by adding a new subdivision that establishes requirements for the designation of school-sponsored athletic teams based on the biological sex of participants at birth. Specifically, it mandates that interscholastic, intramural, or club athletic teams must be categorized as either male, female, or coed, with the stipulation that teams designated for females can only include participants who were biological females at birth.
The new legal language introduced in this bill aims to clarify the composition of athletic teams in schools, ensuring that team membership aligns with the biological sex of the participants. This change reflects a legislative effort to regulate participation in school sports and maintain specific categories for competition based on biological sex.
