SCR 11 Ohio Senate · 135th Legislature (2023-2024)

Urge excluding sexual orientation, gender identity from Title IX

This legislative resolution asks the U.S. Congress, the President, and the Department of Education to exclude sexual orientation and gender identity from the definition of "sex" under Title IX. The bill directly affects federal education policies and aims to prevent the Department of Education from enforcing rules that protect individuals based on these specific characteristics. It argues that the current interpretation of Title IX harms women's sports and seeks to reverse recent guidance issued by the Office for Civil Rights. Ultimately, the measure requests that these federal agencies remove references to sexual orientation and gender identity from their Title IX regulations.
