The bill amends student eligibility requirements for participation in interscholastic and intercollegiate athletic activities in Wyoming, specifically addressing the participation of male and female students in sports. It establishes that public and private schools must designate athletic activities based on sex and prohibits male students from competing in activities designated for female students. The bill also introduces new definitions, including "athletic activity," "female," "male," and "individual sport," while repealing alternate procedures for determining student eligibility. Additionally, it provides a private cause of action for students or schools harmed by false accusations related to violations of this chapter.

Key provisions include the requirement for schools to maintain separate athletic activities for female students and the prohibition against allowing male students to compete in these activities. The bill also protects schools from complaints or investigations related to their compliance with these requirements. The University of Wyoming and community colleges are required to implement the act by July 1, 2025, with the act itself becoming effective on the same date, except for certain sections that take effect immediately upon the bill's passage.
