A judge struck down an executive order issued by New York’s Nassau County that barred male players from competing at county-run facilities in any league that doesn’t correspond to their biological sex or that isn’t a coed or mixed league.

Nassau County Supreme Court Judge Francis Ricigliano said in a May 10 order that Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman did not have the authority to issue the order imposing the transgender athlete ban without corresponding action by the Nassau County Legislature.
