HR 28: Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025

HR 28, the *Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025*, amends Title IX to prohibit federally funded schools from allowing male-identified individuals (based on biological sex at birth) to compete on women’s or girls’ sports teams. It explicitly states that such participation would violate federal civil rights law, with exceptions only for training/practice that doesn’t displace female athletes from roster spots, competitions, scholarships, or other benefits. The bill mandates a Comptroller General study to define "other benefits" lost by girls when males compete in single-sex sports, including impacts on psychological well-being, scholarship access, and safe participation environments. This bill directly affects all athletic programs receiving federal funding, requiring compliance with its biological-sex-based eligibility rules.

HR 8662: TSA Commuting Fairness Act

HR 8662, the TSA Commuting Fairness Act, requires the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to conduct a feasibility study on whether to count commuting time between employees' regular work locations and airport parking/transit stops as on-duty hours.
