Bill 118 HRES 298 is a resolution that sets the rules for considering two pieces of legislation in the US Congress. The first bill, H.R. 734, aims to amend the Education Amendments of 1972 to specify that when determining compliance with Title IX in athletics, an individual's sex should be determined solely based on their reproductive biology and genetics at birth. This bill is likely to spark debate and controversy over the definition of sex and gender in sports.The second piece of legislation that will be considered under this resolution is H.J. Res. 42, which seeks to disapprove of the District of Columbia Council's approval of the Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Amendment Act of 2022. This joint resolution is likely to generate discussions about policing and justice reform in the District of Columbia.
