Bruce Blakeman, the Nassau County executive and a Republican, signed an executive order on Thursday requiring any sports league or organization that wants to use a county parks department facility to “expressly designate” its teams as male, female or coed based on members’ assigned sex at birth. The policy takes effect immediately and does not require legislative approval. It was not immediately clear whether the order was legal under the state’s human rights law. The move was the latest in a series of efforts by officials across the country to bar transgender athletes from competing on teams that match their gender identity, particularly in girls’ and women’s sports. The Nassau County order does not restrict transgender boys and men from competing on boys’ and men’s teams. In the past several years, more than 20 states have passed laws restricting transgender athletes from playing school sports on teams that do not match the sex they were assigned at birth, according to ESPN.

The bill has no chance of passing the Senate, which is controlled by Democrats, or being signed by President Biden. According to Mr. Blakeman’s office, the executive action signed on Thursday will affect thousands of teams across all levels that compete at Nassau County facilities. Last year, the Big East Conference, home to 11 college athletics programs, held its swimming championship in the county. The Big East did not respond to a request for comment.
