The West Virginia House of Delegates has approved legislation that would
require student athletes to present a birth certificate or signed
physician's statement verifying their sex matches the one of the single-
sex sports league they're seeking to enter.

The legislation was sent on Thursday to the state Senate, where
Republicans control the chamber. In the House, it overwhelmingly passed
along a 78-20 vote.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has already vowed to sue over
the bill if it becomes law. On its website, it describes the bill as
"discrimination against transgender students."

The legislation comes amid a nationwide struggle over the future of
women's sports and whether individuals who identify as "transgender" can
compete on single-sex teams. Legislation on the issue has nearly doubled
this year with 42 bills introduced in 26 states. Republicans say it is a
robust response to President Biden's executive order aimed at preventing
discrimination on the basis of gender identity, allowing students to
compete against those of the sex they identify as.

That order argued that "[c]hildren should be able to learn without
worrying about whether they will be denied access to the restroom, the
locker room or school sports."

Mississippi passed legislation this month maintaining that "[a]thletic
teams or sports designated for 'females,' 'women' or 'girls' shall not be
open to students of the male sex."

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem has come under fire for opposing a similar
law passed by her state's legislature, which sought to require
verification for a student's age and "biological sex, as ascertained at or
before birth in accordance with the student's genetics and reproductive
biology." It also included a requirement to verify that "the student is
not taking and has not taken, during the preceding 12 months, any
performance enhancing drugs, including anabolic steroids."

Noem returned the bill, saying its "vague and overly broad language could
have significant unintended consequences."
