The bill aims to restrict participation in female sports teams to individuals who are biologically female at birth. It introduces a new subdivision to Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 121A.04, titled the "Preserving Girls' Sports Act." This subdivision mandates that school-sponsored athletic teams must be categorized based on biological sex at birth into three groups: males, females, or coed. Furthermore, it specifies that only those who are biological females at birth can participate in teams designated for females, overriding any existing laws to the contrary. The effective date for this section is set for the day following its final enactment.

Additionally, the bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 128C.02, by adding a subdivision that requires the league to adopt rules and policies that align with the new regulations established in section 121A.04, subdivision 4a. This ensures that the league's governance is consistent with the restrictions placed on female sports team participation.
