[Congressional Bills 119th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [S. Res. 934 Introduced in Senate (IS)] <DOC> 119th CONGRESS 2d Session S. RES. 934 Designating October 10, 2026, as ``American Girls in Sports Day''. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES September 30, 2026 Mrs. Blackburn (for herself, Mr. Cotton, Mr. Justice, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Tuberville, Mr. Lee, Mrs. Britt, Mr. Lankford, Mrs. Hyde-Smith, Mrs. Moody, Mr. Hoeven, Mr. Ricketts, Mr. Risch, Mr. Daines, Mr. Grassley, Mr. Hagerty, Mr. Crapo, Mr. Budd, Mr. Cramer, Mr. Rounds, Mr. Moreno, Mr. Cornyn, Ms. Graham, Mr. McCormick, Mr. Young, Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Scott of Florida, Mr. Barrasso, Mr. Scott of South Carolina, Mrs. Capito, and Mr. Schmitt) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary _______________________________________________________________________ RESOLUTION Designating October 10, 2026, as ``American Girls in Sports Day''. Whereas athletic participation has an important, positive impact on young girls, improving their physical health, self-confidence, and discipline; Whereas women have been responsible for some of the greatest athletic feats in American history, from the Olympic games to professional competition; Whereas female athletes have served as inspirations for generations of women and girls; Whereas the enactment of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (20 U.S.C. 1681 et seq.) (referred to in this preamble as ``Title IX'') marked a pivotal moment in the Federal support of girls in sports; Whereas there are fundamental biological differences between men and women that put women at a competitive disadvantage in sports and jeopardize their safety during competition; Whereas, in recent years, there has been an increase in the number of biological men allowed to compete in women's sports; Whereas, since the 1980s, biological men have displaced women and girls from over 2,000 medals they should have rightfully won; Whereas, on February 5, 2025, President Donald J. Trump issued Executive Order 14201 (90 Fed. Reg. 9279), entitled ``Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports,'' establishing it as the policy of the United States to protect fair athletic opportunities for women and girls and to oppose male competitive participation in women's sports; Whereas, on June 30, 2026, in West Virginia v. B.P.J., 146 S. Ct. 2356 (2026), and in Little v. Hecox, 146 S. Ct. 2356 (2026), the Supreme Court of the United States affirmed that Title IX permits schools to maintain separate athletic teams for men and women based on biological sex, and upheld State laws protecting female athletic competition for biological women and girls; Whereas it is imperative that women's and girls' opportunities to compete athletically are protected; and Whereas October 10th, as represented by the Roman numerals ``XX'', signifies the female XX chromosomes: Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the Senate-- (1) recognizes October 10, 2026, as ``American Girls in Sports Day''; (2) celebrates the impact that American women and girls have had on sports culture throughout our history; (3) recognizes the importance of Title IX in protecting biological women in sports; and (4) calls on sports-governing bodies in the United States and abroad to protect biological women and girls in sports. <all>
