§444. Designation of athletic teams
A. Each intercollegiate or interscholastic athletic team or sporting event that is sponsored by a school and that receives state funding shall be expressly designated, based upon biological sex, as only one of the following:
(1)Except as provided in Subsection C of this Section, a male, boys, or mens team or event shall be for those students who are biological males.
(2)A female, girls, or womens team or event shall be for those students who are biological females.
(3)A coeducational or mixed team or event shall be open for participation by biological females and biological males.
B. Athletic teams or sporting events designated for females, girls, or women shall not be open to students who are not biologically female.
C. Nothing in this Chapter shall be construed to restrict the eligibility of any student to participate in any intercollegiate or interscholastic athletic team or sport designated as "male", "mens", or "boys", or designated as "coed" or "mixed".
D. Nothing in this Chapter is intended to prevent any school from implementing or maintaining a coeducational or mixed athletic team or sporting event which is open to both biological males and biological females so long as a female, girls, or womens athletic team or sporting event is not disbanded for the purpose of creating a coeducational or mixed team or event which would thereby result to the detriment of students of the female biological sex.
E. Nothing in this Chapter shall be construed to apply to an intramural athletic team or intramural sport.
