SB3724

Illinois SB3724 mandates public institutions of higher education to base athletic eligibility on biological sex, not gender.

Illinois SB3724, known as the Gender in Athletics Act, requires public institutions of higher education to determine student eligibility for intercollegiate athletics based on biological sex rather than gender. It prohibits school districts and nonpublic schools from allowing individuals whose gender is male to participate in female-designated athletics. The Act also provides a process for aggrieved students to file grievances and appeals regarding violations. The Board of Higher Education is granted rulemaking authority to implement and enforce the Act.
