The New Mexico Family Action Movement (NM FAM) has expressed its support for the Independent Women’s Forum’s (IWF) press conference scheduled for February 13, which will spotlight Representative Andrea Reeb’s Women’s Sports Act. This announcement was made public through a press release on February 12, 2025.
At 12:30 PM in Room 318 of the New Mexico State Capitol, the Independent Women’s Forum and NM FAM will host a press conference with lawmakers, advocates, and community leaders to discuss Reeb’s Protection of Women’s Sports Act.
According to the New Mexico Legislature, House Bill 185, introduced in the 2025 New Mexico Legislative Session, aims to enact the Protection of Women’s Sports Act. The bill seeks to ensure equal athletic opportunities for males and females by mandating separate teams based on biological sex. It prohibits male participation in female-designated sports but allows male athletes as practice players under specific conditions. Additionally, it permits individuals harmed by violations to file private causes of action and offers protections against retaliation for reporting infractions. The bill's objective is to preserve fairness in women’s athletics and uphold Title IX's original intent.
