  The law aims to prevent transgender athletes from competing on women's and girls' teams. The signing ceremony was attended by numerous lawmakers, female athletes, and advocates, including former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines, who has been a vocal proponent of banning transgender athletes from women's sports.

Nebraska has banned transgender students from participating in girls' sports teams, following a unanimous decision by the state's Board of Education. The new policy, effective immediately, mandates that sports participation be based on a student's biological sex at birth, rather than their gender identity. This move aligns Nebraska with several other U.S. states that have implemented similar restrictions, sparking debates over fairness, inclusivity, and the rights of transgender athletes. Critics argue that the policy discriminates against transgender students and could negatively impact their mental health and well-being, while supporters believe it ensures a level playing field for female athletes.
