HCR 17 Ohio House · 135th Legislature (2023-2024)

Express opposition to the reinterpretation of Title IX

This legislative resolution expresses the Ohio General Assembly's opposition to the U.S. Department of Education's reinterpretation of Title IX, which changes the definition of "sex" to include gender identity. The bill specifically supports Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost's legal challenge against this federal rule, arguing that the new interpretation conflicts with existing laws and undermines protections for women in education and athletics. By formally opposing the federal agency's actions, the resolution aims to encourage the state to defend its own laws rather than comply with the new federal guidelines.
