New Jersey S1331 mandates that school-sanctioned sports be based on biological sex at birth, prohibiting male students from participating in female.
New Jersey S1331, the "Fairness in Women's Sport Act," requires public and nonpublic schools and institutions of higher education to designate athletic teams based on biological sex. It prohibits athletic teams or sports designated for females from being open to males. If a student's sex is disputed, they must present a physician's statement based on reproductive anatomy, testosterone levels, and genetic makeup. The bill also provides a private right of action for students deprived of athletic opportunities or harmed by violations, and for schools or institutions harmed by such violations.
