The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom Legal Counsel Erica Steinmiller-Perdomo regarding Indiana Gov. Mike Braun’s signing Wednesday of HB 1041, a bill that strengthens protections for female collegiate athletes to ensure that women are not sidelined by males competing in their sports:
“Letting men compete on women’s sports teams denies equal opportunities for women and ignores the biological differences between the sexes. Indiana is right to ensure that female athletes of all ages have a fair and level playing field so that the integrity of women’s sports is protected. ADF commends Rep. Michelle Davis and Sen. Stacey Donato for their leadership in passing this critical bill. We also thank the Indiana Family Institute for its partnership in this effort. By signing this legislation into law, Gov. Braun is restoring common sense and protecting Indiana women for generations to come.”
Steinmiller-Perdomo, along with ADF client Selina Soule, were invited to testify before the Indiana legislature on this bill.
