Texas · 89th Legislature Regular Session
HB1123Relating to interscholastic athletic competition based on biological sex, requirements for physical examinations and genetic testing in interscholastic athletics, and the adoption of rules by the University Interscholastic League to implement these requirements.
Requires interscholastic athletic teams to bar students from competing in competitions for the biological sex opposite to the one on their birth certificate or if their chromosomal sex does not match sex assigned at birth, and mandates genetic testing when a physician suspects inconsistency, so less
an interscholastic athletic team sponsored or authorized by a school district or open-enrollment charter school may not allow a student to compete in an interscholastic athletic competition sponsored or authorized by the district or school that is designated for the biological sex opposite to the student's biological sex as correctly stated on: (1) the student's official birth certificate
Directs the University Interscholastic League to adopt rules implementing biological-sex requirements for school-sponsored interscholastic athletics, including physical examinations and genetic testing, so more restrictions on transgender students in school sports.
The University Interscholastic League shall adopt rules to implement this section
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Education Code provisions to restrict participation in interscholastic athletics based on biological sex at birth (using birth certificate or chromosomal/genetic testing), with exceptions only for females in male-designated events when no female option exists; it adds physician referral for genetic testing on suspected chromosomal discrepancy and requires UIL rules, all addressing transgender/education and transgender/sports. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
