They said that many DCR facilities were built decades ago, before Title IX, and prior to the growth in popularity of women's sports. “With Title IX celebrating its 50th year anniversary last year, we are long overdue in ensuring that all athletes have access to equal accommodations at our state-owned rinks and pools,” said bill sponsor Rep.
