COLUMBUS, Ohio (6-15-23) — Transgender student-athletes in Ohio would be banned from participating in girls’ and women’s sports and minors would be prohibited from receiving gender-affirming care under H.B. 68 a multifaceted proposal that cleared a state House panel on Wednesday.
The proposal would require K-12 schools as well as universities to designate “ separate teams ” for male and female sexes, but explicitly ban transgender girls from participating in girls’ sports while leaving the door open for transgender athletes to play on male or co-ed teams.
State Rep Angie King (R-Celina) is a co-sponsor of the bill.
