New GA Law Forbids Transgender Students Born Male From Female Sports Teams
- In Georgia, Senate Bill 1, also called the Riley Gaines Act of 2025, was enacted into law under Governor Brian Kemp, prohibiting biological males from participating on female sports teams.
- The legislation followed efforts by Lt. Governor Burt Jones, who prioritized protecting women's sports after past cases of females competing against males in Georgia.
- Senator Greg Dolezal sponsored the bill requiring gender-segregated sports teams and facilities, making Georgia the 27th state with similar protections for female athletes.
- Dolezal stated sports have an inherent male advantage, while Kemp said the law ensures fairness and safety for students in schools, also requiring exclusive use of restrooms and locker rooms by gender.
- The law establishes clear gender boundaries in Georgia’s athletic and school facilities, reflecting a broader national debate on transgender participation in women's sports.
