Greenfield found sufficient support to require the Senate Education Committee to reconsider the legislation and deliver it to the Senate floor.

The committee then voted 5-2 to recommend that the bill, House Bill 1195, do-not pass.

“For purposes of participation in athletics sanctioned by the association, the sole determinant of a student’s sexual identity is the sexual identity noted on the student’s certificate of birth.
