Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds on Thursday signed a bill barring male-born athletes from competing in female sports programs at school and college.

Under the bill, known as HF 2416, public and private K-12 schools and community colleges, as well as colleges and universities affiliated with the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), are required to designate sporting events as male, female, or co-ed.
