The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 123B.49, by adding a new subdivision that establishes specific designations for school-sponsored athletic teams based on the biological sex of participants at birth. Under the new provisions, athletic teams must be categorized as either male, female, or coed. This means that teams designated for females will only be open to participants who were identified as biological females at birth.

The intent of this legislation is to ensure that athletic team membership aligns with biological sex, thereby creating clear guidelines for participation in interscholastic, intramural, or club sports. This amendment aims to address concerns regarding fairness and inclusivity in school athletics by reinforcing the separation of teams based on biological sex.
