An Act Prohibiting Students Who Are Biological Males From Competing...
To protect women's rights by allowing only biological females to use female locker rooms and facilities and participate on public female-only athletic teams.
This bill, HB05125, proposes to restrict participation in female-only sports teams, locker rooms, and facilities to biological females only. The aim is to safeguard women's rights in these areas. If passed, it would impact transgender and non-binary students who identify as female but are born male, preventing them from competing on female-only teams and using female-only facilities.
The bill was introduced on January 14, 2025, and has been referred to the Joint Committee on Education for further review. Currently, it is in the early stages of the legislative process. Key actions so far include the bill's introduction and its referral to the committee.
The sponsors of the bill are Anne Dauphinais, Craig Fishbein, and Brian Lanoue, all of whom are Republicans. The bill's primary sponsor is Brian Lanoue. The current status is that it has been referred for committee review, with no further actions taken yet.
