H.R. 1028 adds legal definitions of "male," "female," and "sex" based on reproductive biology to federal law governing the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee and national sports governing bodies. It requires these organizations to bar anyone defined as male from competing in athletic competitions designated for females, women, or girls.
Affects national sports governing bodies chartered under the Ted Stevens Olympic and Amateur Sports Act, such as USA Swimming and USA Track and Field. Primarily affects transgender women and girls, as well as intersex athletes, seeking to compete in female divisions of these organizations.
Eligibility for women's and girls' competitions in Olympic and amateur sports covered by this law would be determined by the bill's biological definitions rather than gender identity. The bill does not apply to school sports generally, professional leagues, or organizations outside this specific federal statute.
