Summary

Directs U.S. collegiate and other sports governing bodies to protect women’s sports by asking the NCAA and member conferences to adopt policies that limit women’s teams to biological females and to remove or replace existing transgender‑eligibility rules. The resolution expresses concern that biological males competing on women’s teams can create competitive and safety disadvantages for female athletes and calls on all U.S. sports organizations to preserve the category of women’s sports for biological women and girls. The measure is a nonbinding House resolution that asks sports organizations to change their own rules; it does not create or change federal law or fund programs.

Key Points

• Nonbinding House resolution asking the NCAA and other sports bodies to adopt sex‑based eligibility rules for women’s collegiate sports.
• Urges removal of the NCAA’s existing transgender eligibility policy and requests barring transgender‑identifying males from women's rosters.
• Frames the change as protecting competitive fairness and safety for biological women and girls and as consistent with Title IX goals.
• Cites examples of other sports organizations (e.g., NAIA) that limit women’s teams to biological females.
• Does not create new federal law, impose funding, or directly change Title IX; it is a formal request to nongovernmental sports organizations.
• If implemented by sports bodies, changes would directly affect transgender collegiate athletes, cisgender women athletes, colleges, and athletic conferences.
• Raises potential legal, compliance, and public‑policy debates around civil rights, nondiscrimination, and athletic governance.
• Implementation depends on voluntary adoption by the NCAA, conferences, and other sports governing bodies.
