Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 4, § 446. Remedies; cause of action

A. A biological female student who is deprived of an athletic opportunity or suffers or is likely to suffer from any direct or indirect harm as a result of a violation of this Chapter may assert that violation as a cause of action for remedies provided for in Subsection E of this Section. Requiring a biological female to compete against a biological male on a team that is designated as a “female”, “girls”, or “womens” team is inherently discriminatory to biological females and is a cognizable harm to biological females under this Chapter.

B. A biological female student who is subjected to retaliation or other adverse action by a school, athletic association, or other organization as a result of reporting a violation of this Chapter to an employee or representative of the school, athletic association, or to any local, state, or federal agency with oversight of schools shall have a cause of action for remedies provided for in Subsection E of this Section.

C. For purposes of this Chapter, the designation of “female” entered on the student's official birth certificate at or near the time of the student's birth creates a rebuttable presumption that the student's biological sex is female.

D. A school, school coach, school employee, school board, school board employee, school board member, postsecondary education board, or postsecondary education board member who suffers any direct or indirect harm for prohibiting a biological male from participating in a female, girls, or womens athletic team or sporting event pursuant to the requirements of this Chapter shall have a cause of action for remedies provided for in Subsection E of this Section.

E. Any person who brings a cause of action pursuant to this Chapter may obtain appropriate relief including but not limited to:

F. All civil actions under this Chapter shall be initiated within two years from the date that the harm occurred.
