Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 734) to amend the Education Amendments of 1972 to provide that for purposes of determining compliance with title IX of such Act in athletics, sex shall be recognized based solely on a person's reproductive biology and genetics at birth, and providing for consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 42) disapproving the action of the District of Columbia Council in approving the Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Amendment Act of 2022.
This resolution (HRES 298) is procedural and sets rules for the House to debate two specific bills. It provides a process for considering H.R. 734, which would amend Title IX to define sex for athletic eligibility based on "reproductive biology and genetics at birth," and H.J. Res. 42, which seeks to disapprove a District of Columbia policing reform law. The resolution establishes time limits, debate control, and amendment procedures for both measures during House consideration. It does not change policy itself but enables the legislative process for these specific bills.
