Newsom's office responds to SCOTUS ruling on women's sports as California faces ongoing trans athlete wave

California Gov. Gavin Newsom's office stated the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling upholding state laws protecting women's sports from biological male trans athletes will not impact California's existing policies. California, which lacks such protective laws, has a 2013 law (AB 1266) allowing transgender students to compete in sports aligned with their gender identity. The state faced controversy over trans athlete AB Hernandez competing in girls' sports and a CIF podium adjustment policy.
