A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This House resolution focuses on the National Collegiate Athletic Association policy for eligibility in women's sports. The text notes the positive impacts of sports for young girls and the importance of Title IX in supporting women in sports. It points out that biological differences between males and females put females at a competitive disadvantage and jeopardize their safety. The resolution states that the National Collegiate Athletic Association adopted a policy in 2010 allowing biological males to compete on women's rosters. Finally, the House of Representatives calls on the National Collegiate Athletic Association to revoke its transgender student-athlete eligibility policy and forbid transgender-identifying males from competing on women's sports rosters.
