Senator Hawley Proposes Amendment to Protect State Laws on Women's Sports
Senator Josh Hawley, R-Mo., has introduced an amendment to the Protect College Sports Act, a bill currently under consideration in the U.S. Senate. The amendment aims to ensure that state laws prohibiting biological men from participating in women's sports are not overridden by federal legislation. The Protect College Sports Act, backed by the White House, seeks to establish clear rules and protections for student-athletes, but has raised concerns among some lawmakers and advocacy groups. They argue that the bill could undermine state efforts to restrict trans-identified males from competing in women's sports. The amendment proposed by Hawley specifically clarifies that any state law banning biological men from women's sports would remain protected.
