The proposed committee substitute for SB2 creates the Save Women’s Sports Act. The measure prohibits anyone of the male sex from playing on athletic teams designated for females, women, or girls.
Any student who is deprived of an athletic opportunity due to a violation of this rule, shall have a cause of action for injunctive relief against the school.
Any student who is subject to retaliation by a school, athletic association, or intercollegiate association for reporting a violation of this rule, shall have a cause of action for injunctive relief against the school, or athletic association.
The measure also prohibits the State Board of Education, the State Regents, and any athletic association from entering a complaint, opening an investigation, or taking any other adverse action against a school for maintaining athletic teams for students of the female sex.
