Bill: California AB 89
Author: Asm. Kate Sanchez (R-Santa Margarita)
Position: Support
Summary: Bans biological males from competing in girls sports
Status 1/6/25: Introduced
Assembly Bill 89, introduced by Assemblyman Kate Sanchez, represents a crucial step in protecting the integrity and fairness of girls’ sports in California. It upholds the foundational principles of our society, including the importance of safeguarding women’s rights and ensuring equitable competition in athletics.
This bill seeks to amend the existing California law, AB 1266, which has allowed males to compete on girls’ interscholastic sports teams. Since its enactment 12 years ago, we have witnessed growing concerns regarding the impact of this policy on female athletes, who deserve a fair and level playing field. AB 89 aims to restore balance by requiring the California Interscholastic Federation to amend its constitution, bylaws, and policies to prohibit male-assigned individuals from participating in girls’ sports teams.
Furthermore, AB 89 acknowledges the importance of inclusivity by ensuring that all students can participate in sex-segregated school programs and activities that align with their gender identity. However, it draws a clear line when it comes to competitive sports, affirming our commitment to preserving the unique opportunities and protections afforded to young women athletes.
In summary, Assembly Bill 89 stands as a pivotal piece of legislation that not only safeguards the spirit of competition but also ensures that girls can thrive in an environment that recognizes their hard work and dedication. Let’s champion this bill and protect the future of women’s sports in California.
