(CNN) A bill is making its way through the South Dakota legislature that could prevent transgender students from playing on high school sports teams based on their gender identity.
House Bill 1225 aims to override a current statewide policy that lets students participate in sports "in a manner consistent with their gender identity," regardless of the sex listed in their student record.
The proposed legislation would make the gender on a student's birth certificate the "sole determinant" of their "sexual identity" for participating in high school athletics.
The House Health and Human Services committee voted last week to send the bill to the House floor without a recommendation.
