SAFE Olympic Sports Act

This bill changes federal law on U.S. sports governing bodies that oversee Olympic sports. It would require each national governing body to have an eligibility rule that amateur athletes may only compete in events matching their sex, covering the Olympic, Paralympic, Pan-American, and Parapan American Games and any national, regional, state, or local events it sanctions. The bill defines sex as a biological classification of male or female determined at conception by reproductive system. It also requires governing bodies to keep sanctioning single-sex competitions they sanctioned in the prior 10 years and bars them from canceling or changing the sex categories of already-sanctioned upcoming events, while still allowing mixed-sex competitions.
