Rep. Deering Speaks on Protecting Girls in Sports (Video)

Today, I stood up for protecting women and girls in sports. I have filed HB 1117, a measure to keep girls safe in school sports by requiring the school teams to be designated as female, male, or coeducational. 

This is a bipartisan issue. As a mother to daughters who play sports, I share the same passion of leaving our kids alone, which is why I will continue to advocate for this issue.

I want girls and women in the 88th District and across Illinois to know that I have their backs.
