Requires law enforcement to notify the federal Department of Homeland Security within 72 hours of charging an individual with a crime if law enforcement cannot determine that the individual in question is lawfully present in the United States and if they are charged with either a violent crime or have a prior felony conviction.

Modifies existing law by prohibiting any health-care professional or other person from knowingly performing, prescribing, administering, or providing any surgery to a minor for the purpose of altering the minor’s biological sex characteristics. It would further prohibit the use of state or federal funds, Medicaid reimbursement, or insurance coverage to pay for this type of surgery.

Requires a school, institution of higher education, or athletic association to designate each school or intramural athletic team or sport as male, female, or coeducational. It would accordingly allow participants to compete on the team or sport that aligns with the sex of their biological reproductive systems or to compete on a coeducational team, therefore restricting biological males from competing on female sports teams but creating an exception to allow a female to participate on a male-designated team or sport if there is no female team available. It further prohibits any government organization or athletic association from entertaining a complaint, opening an investigation, or taking other adverse action against a school for maintaining separate teams or sports for females, and enables the commissioner of education to take action against schools that do not enforce this proposed law.
