Hawaii HB207 mandates sex-specific athletic teams and protects schools from complaints if they maintain such teams.

Hawaii HB207 requires schools to designate athletic teams based on biological sex: male, female, or coed. It prohibits governmental entities, licensing organizations, or athletic associations from taking action against schools for maintaining sex-specific teams. Schools must resolve disputes over a student's sex by requesting a health examination from the student's health care provider. Students deprived of athletic opportunities due to violations can seek injunctive relief, damages, and other legal remedies. The act also protects schools from retaliation for reporting violations.
