HR 5050 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Safety and Opportunity for Girls Act of 2025
To clarify protections related to sex and sex-segregated spaces and to activities under title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972.
Summary
This bill amends Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 by adding definitions of "female," "male," and "sex" based on reproductive biology and clarifying that Title IX does not prohibit educational institutions from maintaining sex-segregated spaces such as bathrooms and locker rooms. The bill specifies that the Secretary of Education cannot prohibit sex-segregated spaces or make receipt of Title IX funding contingent upon an institution forgoing sex-segregated bathrooms, locker rooms, or athletic or academic programs. The bill defines "female" as an individual with a reproductive system that produces eggs and "male" as an individual with a reproductive system that produces sperm, with allowances for congenital anomalies or historical accidents. The bill applies these definitions for purposes of interpreting Title IX protections and requirements.
