School boards must adopt policies governing transgender student participation in extracurricular activities, including athletics sponsored by schools or member athletics/activities associations

Gender eligibility for sex-separated teams is determined by biological sex on the student's birth certificate, unless approved through the transgender participation policy

Transgender female students seeking to participate on female athletic teams must provide medical documentation showing either one year of hormone treatment or gender reassignment surgery, plus physiological testing demonstrating no physical advantages over biological females

Applications require written parental consent, documentation from health care professionals verifying consistent gender identity, statements from parents/friends/teachers, and medical records of any hormone therapy or surgical interventions

Approved transgender students must use restrooms, showers, and locker rooms associated with their biological sex or use separate facilities when available; students denied participation remain eligible for teams matching their birth certificate gender
