SC S0860

South Carolina Senate resolution calls on Congress to pass federal legislation reaffirming that Title IX guarantees women and girls equal athletic opportunities and prohibits males from competing on women's teams or accessing women's private spaces

Urges the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold state authority to restrict women's sports categories to biological females only

References South Carolina's Save Women's Sports Act enacted in 2022, noting over half of U.S. states have similar protections

Cites biological differences between males and females (body size, heart/lung capacity, bone density, muscle strength) as justification for sex-separated athletic competition

Directs copies of the resolution be sent to South Carolina's Congressional delegation and the Clerk of the U.S. Supreme Court
