The Arizona House of Representatives on March 3 passed a bill that if signed into law could see transgender students banned from participating in girls sports at schools across the state.
The bill, H.B. 2706 (pdf), requires interscholastic or intramural athletic teams or sports sponsored by an educational institution to be “expressly designated” for “males, men, or boys;” “females, women, or girls;” or “co-ed or mixed sex.” Athletic teams “designated for females, women, or girls may not be open to students of the male sex,” under the proposal.
