Assembly Bill 100 mandates that all public and private educational institutions in Wisconsin that sponsor athletic teams designate those teams based on the sex of the participants, defined as the sex assigned at birth and reflected on the birth certificate. The bill prohibits male students from participating in teams designated for females and from using female-designated locker rooms. Additionally, if an institution intends to change the designation of an athletic team or sport, it must provide written notification to eligible pupils and their parents or guardians.
The bill also allows female students who are denied participation in sports or suffer harm due to violations of these provisions to file lawsuits for injunctive relief and damages. Furthermore, it provides a mechanism for educational institutions to seek legal recourse if they face adverse actions from governmental entities or athletic organizations as a result of complying with these regulations. The bill amends existing statutes to incorporate these new requirements and protections.
