HB 7732 Rhode Island House · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION -- FAIRNESS IN WOMEN'S SPORTS ACT

HB 7732, the "Fairness in Women's Sports Act," requires public schools and colleges to designate athletic teams based solely on biological sex at birth, not gender identity. It mandates that teams for female athletes must be exclusively for students identified as female at birth, verified through medical documentation of reproductive anatomy, natural testosterone levels, and genetics. The bill prohibits schools from facing penalties for maintaining separate female teams and allows affected students to sue if denied athletic opportunities due to this policy. It directly affects female athletes in public school sports programs and the institutions that govern them.
