Relating to intercollegiate athletic competitions based on biological sex.
SB 1068 requires out-of-state colleges competing against Texas public universities in intercollegiate athletics to certify 30 days in advance that they will comply with Texas' biological sex-based athletic team requirements. It directly affects out-of-state institutions participating in competitions against Texas public colleges or universities. The bill amends the Education Code to mandate this certification before any competition, applying to all such events starting in the 2025-2026 academic year. The law takes effect immediately if passed by a two-thirds vote, or September 1, 2025, if not.
