A bill to keep trans athletes from participating in women's sports in college and youth athletics was introduced in the Ohio House on Wednesday.
The following article was originally published in the Ohio Capital Journal and published on News5Cleveland.com under a content-sharing agreement.
The bill requires separate single-sex athletic teams and allows athletes to file a civil lawsuit “if the participant is deprived of an athletic opportunity or suffers harm as a result of a violation of the bill’s single-sex participation requirements or if the participant is subject to retaliation for reporting such a violation,” according to an analysis by the Legislative Service Commission.
Powell would only use the term “biological male” instead of “trans woman” when speaking on her bill, but insisted the legislation aimed to keep a “level playing field” and maintain the integrity of federal Title IX law. The bill already has more than two dozen Republican co-sponsors as it begins its journey through the GOP supermajority General Assembly.
As a member of the Higher Ed Committee, Merrin put his support behind the bill, arguing the bill empowers students competing in girls and women’s sports.
