S.B. No. 2920, introduced by Campbell and others, aims to regulate steroid use among students participating in athletic competitions sanctioned by the University Interscholastic League. The bill amends Section 33.091(h) of the Education Code to clarify that while students may use steroids prescribed by a medical practitioner for valid medical purposes without facing ineligibility, the definition of a valid medical purpose explicitly excludes the provision of steroids to minors for the purpose of transitioning their biological sex.

The bill emphasizes the importance of maintaining fair competition in athletics by restricting the use of steroids in specific contexts. It is set to take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds majority vote from both houses of the Texas Legislature; otherwise, it will become effective on September 1, 2025.
