Nebraska Voters Approve Amendment Restricting Participation in Girls, Women's Sports
The amendment enshrines a 2025 law requiring athletes to compete on teams matching sex at birth, with 67% support reported.
- On Tuesday, Nebraska voters approved Initiative Measure 442 with 67% support, requiring schools to designate sports teams based on biological sex.
- The initiative mandates that schools follow definitions from the 2025 'Stand With Women Act,' which defines biological sex based on a person's reproductive system.
- A Lancaster County District Court dismissed a lawsuit challenging the measure's validity in early September, and the Nebraska Supreme Court upheld that ruling in mid-October.
- The Nebraska Family Alliance called the passage a 'victory for fairness, truth, and common sense,' while the Mead School Board earlier this year unanimously passed a resolution supporting the initiative.
- Schools must implement rules requiring medical professionals to verify a student's sex assigned at birth using 'one or more' methods, including reproductive anatomy or testosterone levels.
