Senate vote on bill regarding Title IX sex definitions in athletics
/ 1 min read
Table of Contents
The Senate held a vote on a motion to proceed to a bill that would change how sex is defined for Title IX compliance in school athletics. Under this proposal, sex would be determined strictly by a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.
Why it matters: This action is a procedural failure; because the vote to even start discussing the bill failed, the proposed changes to Title IX definitions will not move toward becoming law at this time.
Who it affects
- Student athletes and educational institutions
