HB 1205 passed the New Hampshire House of Representatives on March 21 with a vote of 189-182, with one Democrat voting to advance the bill. According to The Hill, it’s expected to pass in the state Senate, which is led by Republicans.

The bill would require participation in sports at K-12 schools throughout the state, as well as public colleges, to be based on biological sex.

”An athletic team or sport designated for ‘females,’ ‘women,’ or ‘girls’ shall not be open to students of the male sex where selection for such teams is based upon competitive skill or the activity involved is a contact sport,” the legislation states.
