Michigan HJRL amends the state constitution to allow athletic events to classify participants based on biological sex assigned at birth.

Michigan HJRL amends the state constitution by adding section 29 to article I, allowing athletic events to classify participants based on biological sex assigned at birth. This means eligibility for athletic events cannot be based on gender identity or procedures altering sex characteristics. Individuals can seek legal action in circuit court for violations, with potential for court-awarded fees and costs if they prevail.
