COLUMBUS –State Rep. Jena Powell (R-Arcanum) released the following statement upon the passage of the ‘Save Women’s Sports Act’ legislation included in House Bill 68:
“I am passionate about this issue because we cannot allow girls’ dreams of being a gold medal athlete to be crushed by biological males stealing their opportunities. The Save Women’s Sports Act is a fairness issue for women. This bill ensures that every little girl who works hard to make it on a podium is not robbed of her chance by a biological male competing against her in a biological female sport. We want every little girl to achieve her athletic dream here in the state of Ohio.”
The legislation now heads to the Governor for his consideration.
