AN ACT PROHIBITING STUDENTS WHO ARE BIOLOGICAL MALES FROM COMPETING ON FEMALE-ONLY ATHLETIC TEAMS AND USING FEMALE-ONLY LOCKER ROOMS AND FACILITIES.
HB 5518 prohibits high school students identified as biological males from competing on female-only athletic teams or using female-only locker rooms and facilities in interscholastic and intramural sports. The bill directly affects high school athletes who are biological males, restricting their participation in girls' sports teams and access to designated female facilities. It amends state statutes to explicitly ban such participation and access, with no exceptions specified in the text. The bill's purpose is limited to defining athletic and facility eligibility based on biological sex, applying only to high school-level competitions. This is a policy change affecting school athletic programs, not a procedural or commemorative measure.
