Context text: A resolution to strongly encourage the Michigan High School Athletic Association to continue to align its eligibility rules for high school athletes with the goal of preserving the integrity of competition and the safety of all athletes equally. Whereas, The Michigan High School Athletic Association is a private, not-for-profit corporation of voluntary membership by over 1,500 public and private senior high schools and junior high schools which exists to develop common rules for athletic eligibility and competition. No government funds or tax dollars support the Michigan High School Athletic Association, which was the first such association nationally to not accept membership dues or tournament entry fees from schools; and Whereas, President Trump issued Executive Order 14201 which states that it is the policy of the United States to oppose male competitive participation in women’s athletics. Executive Order 14201 further states that Title IX enforcement actions shall be prioritized against educational institutions and athletic associations that require female students to compete with or against men. The Michigan High School Athletic Association is currently reviewing Executive Order 14201 which is confusing, supported only by questionable science, and is being challenged in federal court as unconstitutional; and Whereas, All lives have value and all Michiganders are deserving of support and continued protection from discrimination in employment; housing; public accommodations; public service; and educational facilities, services, activities and programs. The unilateral executive action attempting to defund participating members of the Michigan High School Athletic Association would put student athletes at risk of irreparable harm; now, therefore, be it Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we strongly encourage the Michigan High School Athletic Association to continue to align its eligibility rules for high school athletes with the goal of preserving the integrity of competition and the safety of all athletes equally; and be it further Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the President pro tempore of the United States Senate, and the Executive Director of the Michigan High School Athletic Association.
