Summary
On May 28, 2025 DOJ announced a Title IX investigation into whether California's 2013 law AB 1266, which lets students join sex-separated programs and teams consistent with their gender identity, conflicts with Title IX. It acted a day after the President's funding threat over a transgender athlete at the state track finals. DOJ later sent a letter to the California Interscholastic Federation describing coordination with the ED-DOJ Title IX Special Investigations Team. The matter preceded the June 25 ED finding and the July 9 DOJ lawsuit.
Status
Superseded by DOJ's July 2025 suit (S03-012).
