Pennsylvania SB9 mandates that sports in public institutions and schools be designated as male, female, or coed, and allows for legal action for harm.
Pennsylvania SB9, known as the Fairness in Women's Sports Act, requires athletic teams and sports in public institutions and schools to be expressly designated as male, female, or coed. It prohibits female teams from being open to male students and allows students to sue for harm caused by violations. Schools cannot retaliate against students who report violations, and schools or institutions cannot take adverse actions against entities that maintain separate sports for female students. The act also allows for legal action by those who report violations to authorities.
