S.9

Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025

Introduced·1/7/25

Federal SB9 aims to redefine sex for Title IX compliance in athletics based on reproductive biology and genetics at birth.

Federal SB9, the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025, amends Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. It mandates that sex, for compliance purposes in athletics, be recognized based solely on a person's reproductive biology and genetics at birth. This change would prohibit individuals whose sex is male from participating in athletic programs designated for women or girls.
