New GA Law Forbids Transgender Students Born Male From Female Sports Teams
- Georgia's Governor Brian Kemp has signed a ban prohibiting transgender students born male from participating on female teams, as well as barring transgender athletes born female from male teams, joining over two dozen states with similar laws.
- Kemp signed several education-related bills, including the Riley Gaines Act of 2025, which has minimal documented issues related to transgender participation in Georgia according to witnesses.
- House Bill 268 requires schools to provide updated digital campus maps to first responders and allows children aged 13-17 accused of a terroristic act on campus to be tried as adults, with serious repercussions.
- Proponents of the law argue it is fair and safe, while critics, including various advocacy groups, deem the law overreaching against transgender athletes.
