Fair Play for Women Act

Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.

Bill 119 HR 1183, also known as the "Fair Play for Female Athletes Act," aims to prevent discrimination against athletes based on their sex by State athletic associations, intercollegiate athletic associations, and covered institutions of higher education. The bill seeks to ensure that female athletes are not unfairly disadvantaged or excluded from participating in sports due to their gender.

The legislation prohibits any entity that receives federal funding from discriminating against female athletes in any way, including denying them opportunities to participate in sports, providing unequal resources or facilities, or treating them unfairly in any aspect of athletic competition. The bill also requires that any disputes regarding sex discrimination in athletics be resolved through a fair and impartial process.

Overall, the goal of Bill 119 HR 1183 is to promote fairness and equality in sports for female athletes, ensuring that they have the same opportunities and resources as their male counterparts. The bill seeks to uphold the principles of Title IX, which prohibits sex discrimination in education programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance. If passed, this legislation would have a significant impact on the way female athletes are treated in the realm of sports, ensuring that they are given equal opportunities to compete and succeed based on their skills and abilities, rather than their gender.
