This proposal would prevent professional women's sports teams from using tax deductions to write off the cost of acquiring their franchises if they allow transgender athletes to compete on their rosters. The change would affect how sports team owners calculate their taxes by eliminating a standard business deduction currently available to them. The bill is currently under review by the House Committee on Ways and Means.
