HB 151 - The "Save Women's Sports Act"

On June 1, 2022, the first day of Pride month, the Ohio House passed the trans athlete sports ban by attaching it to an unrelated bill.

This bill passed through the Senate in December 2022. However, the Ohio House rejected the final version of the HB 151 as a result of other amendments that the Senate added, meaning the transgender athlete ban did NOT become law!

We will be monitoring and speaking out against similar legislation that may be introduced during the 135th General Assembly.

What are the facts?

According to the Center for American Progress, the benefits socially, emotionally, and psychologically for LGBTQ+ youth participating in sports is lifesaving.
"Ohio High School Athletics Association - which oversees about 400,000 student-athletes each year across the state -already has rules in place to accommodate transgender athletes competing at the high school level."
