Who this affects: This bill mainly affects students who play school sports, especially girls and women on teams at schools that get federal money. It also affects transgender girls and women who seek to play on teams that match their gender identity. Schools and colleges would have to adjust their sports rules to match the bill if it became law.

Why this matters: This bill could change who gets to play on girls' and women's school sports teams across the country. Today, schools may follow different rules from states, courts, agencies, or their own policies. The bill would create one federal Title IX rule for athletics at schools that get federal money. Its real effect would depend on whether it becomes law and how schools apply it.

Key provisions in H.R. 28

• A school or college that gets federal money could not let males play on girls' or women's teams. Doing so would violate Title IX, the federal education law tied to sex discrimination rules.
• For this sports rule, sex would mean reproductive biology and genetics at birth. Schools could not use a broader meaning for Title IX athletics compliance.
• The rule would cover more than games and teams. It would also cover any activity offered only because someone takes part with an athletic team.
• Schools could still let males train or practice with girls' or women's teams. But no female athlete could lose a roster spot, chance to take part, scholarship, admission, or other benefit tied to the program.
• The Comptroller General, who leads the Government Accountability Office, must study what “any other benefit” means for girls and women in single-sex sports. The study must also look at listed harms when males are allowed to take part.
