The Arkansas state Senate will vote on the “Fairness in Women’s Sports Act” after the state’s Senate Education Committee endorsed the measure with a 5-3 vote at the start of the week.

“Senate Bill 354 by Sen. Missy Irvin, R-Mountain View, would allow students ‘deprived of an athletic opportunity’ or suffering ‘direct or indirect harm’ as a result of a kindergarten-through-12th-grade school or higher-education institution not maintaining separate teams for cisgender female students to seek injunctive relief against the school, as well as monetary damages,” the Arkansas Democrat Gazette reported.
