Missouri HB2973 modifies guidelines for student participation in athletic contests organized by sex. It mandates that students compete in athletic competitions designated for their biological sex, as stated on their birth certificate. The bill also requires public schools to provide separate shower rooms, locker rooms, and restrooms based on biological sex to ensure privacy and safety. It allows for alternative accommodations for transgender students with parental consent, but prohibits access to facilities designated for the opposite sex.
