Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025

Amends Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 to make it a violation for a recipient of federal financial assistance that operates, sponsors, or facilitates athletic programs to permit a person whose sex is male to participate in an athletic program or activity designated for women or girls. For this purpose the bill defines sex based solely on a person's reproductive biology and genetics at birth. It clarifies that the athletic programs covered include any program or activity conditioned on participation with an athletic team. The bill permits males to train or practice with a women's or girls' program so long as no female is deprived of a roster spot, a chance to participate in a practice or competition, a scholarship, admission to an institution, or any other benefit of participation. It directs the Comptroller General to study the meaning of the phrase 'any other benefit,' documenting the psychological, developmental, participatory, and sociological effects on girls of allowing males to compete in girls' programs, and to report the results to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.

At least 19 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 75 quarterly reports filed by 1 lobbying firm and by 18 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.

The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.

5 of them, in no ranking: Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee; National Council of Jewish Women; Guttmacher Institute; Human Rights Campaign; Family Research Council. Listed as filed, in the order the filings were read, and 14 others are not shown. These are not the largest, the earliest or the most active: we keep five names per measure, and the filings give no ranking.

From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
