Attorney General Miyares joins amicus brief supporting West Virginia’s Save Women’s Sports Act
RICHMOND, Va. – Attorney General Jason Miyares today joined a 26-state coalition of attorneys general in filing an amicus brief calling on the United States Supreme Court to take up West Virginia’s appeal of a lower court ruling that struck down the state’s law protecting girls’ sports.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit blocked West Virginia’s “Save Women’s Sports Act,” which bans male athletes from playing on girls’ sports teams, saying the law violated Title IX.
In addition to Attorney General Miyares, the attorneys general of Alaska, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Wyoming also signed on to the lawsuit filed by lead states Arkansas and Alabama.
