New GOP-led House already fast tracks bill to ban men in women’s sports

The new Republican-controlled 119th House of Representatives, convened Friday, has already fast tracked a bill that would ban men in women’s sports.

The bill was moved forward as part of the 119th rules package, which allowed 12 bills “on a glide path to a vote on the House floor without allowing for hearings or amendments, by limiting debate, and waiving all the other chamber rules,” GovTrack reported.

The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act was reintroduced Friday by U.S. Rep. Greg Steube, a Florida Republican, along with 56 Republican cosponsors.

“This legislation allows women and girls a fair playing field in competitive sports by ensuring that school athletics comply with the Title IX recognition of a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth,” a news release from Steube states.

A similar bill has already been introduced twice in the House during the previous two sessions, which is why it was likely allowed to be fast tracked.

The news release states:

“In the 118th Congress, the Republican Conference listed the defense of women’s sports in the Commitment to America and passed Rep. Steube’s bill in the first 100 days of the Republican Majority by a vote of 219-203, without a single Democrat voting in favor. The Senate companion, introduced by U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) was never brought to the floor under the Democrat Senate Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer.

In the 117th Congress, Rep. Steube and former Republican Study Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) filed a discharge petition for The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act where it received 187 signatures.
