U.S. House Passes Bill Protecting Women and Girls in Sports

How Did They Vote?

The new session of Congress is off and running, and we are thrilled to report that yesterday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 28, the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, by a vote of 218-206 (with 2 not voting). This legislation, if passed into law, would protect women’s sports by affirming that allowing males to compete on women’s teams violates Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 for federally funded schools and colleges.
