HB1217 adds legislative findings to South Dakota law stating that biological sex is determined at fertilization and that males and females have measurable biological differences, particularly in secondary sex characteristics developed during puberty. While the bill text excerpt provided doesn't show the complete amendment to the existing sports law (§35-4-10.2), these findings appear to establish the legal rationale for regulating women's sports participation based on biological sex.
