A bill to prohibit the participation of males in athletic programs or activities at the military service academies that are designated for women or girls.

# Summary of S 1988 **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would prevent male students from competing on athletic teams at the U.S. military service academies (West Point, Annapolis, and the Air Force Academy) that are designated exclusively for women or girls. If passed, it would establish a rule that only female athletes could participate in women's sports programs at these three institutions. **Who It Affects and Current Status** The bill would directly affect current and future cadets and midshipmen at the military service academies, as well as the academies' athletic programs.

It was introduced by Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) during the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate. As a bill still in the committee stage, it may be revised, rejected, or eventually brought to a vote.
