Illinois HB4027 ensures equal athletic opportunities for both sexes in public schools and colleges.

Illinois HB4027 amends the Interscholastic Athletic Organization Act to ensure equal athletic opportunities for both sexes in public schools and colleges. The bill mandates that schools provide equal opportunities for both male and female students in interscholastic and intercollegiate athletics. It allows single-sex teams if based on competitive skill or if the activity is a contact sport. Schools must designate teams as male, female, or coeducational. The bill prohibits males from competing on female teams, occupying roster spots on female teams, or receiving female scholarships.
