HB 207 Hawaii House · 2025 Regular Session

RELATING TO SEX-SPECIFIC STUDENT ATHLETIC TEAMS.

HB 207 requires schools to maintain separate athletic teams for male and female students to promote gender equality in sports. The bill directly affects K-12 school athletic programs by mandating sex-based team designations for all competitive sports. Its key provision is a requirement for schools to establish and operate distinct teams based on biological sex, rather than allowing inclusive or mixed-gender options. The bill's stated purpose, as outlined in its abstract, is to ensure gender equality in student athletics through this structural requirement.
