Congresswoman Mary Miller introduced H.R. 2452, the Keep Our Girls Safe Act. This legislation would codify President Trump’s Executive Order 14201 and strip federal funding from any school that defies the commonsense protections for women and girls.
Strip federal funding from any school that violates Title IX protections for women and girls by allowing biological males to compete in girls' sports.
Occurrences
Evidence
Congress.gov lists Rep. Mary E. Miller of Illinois as an original cosponsor of H.R.28 on January 3, 2025.
The engrossed House bill would amend Title IX so that a recipient of Federal financial assistance violates Title IX if it permits a person whose sex is male to participate in an athletic program designated for women or girls. The bill states it passed the House on January 14, 2025.
The House Clerk records H.R.28 as passed 218-206, 1 present, on January 14, 2025. The vote list records Miller (IL), Republican, Illinois, voting Yea.
The Senate vote was on cloture for the motion to proceed to S.9, a bill on Title IX compliance in athletics recognizing sex based on reproductive biology and genetics at birth. The Senate records the result as rejected, 51 yeas, 45 nays, with a three-fifths threshold required.
Executive Order 14201 states that U.S. policy is to rescind funds from educational programs that deprive women and girls of fair athletic opportunities. It directs agencies to review grants to educational programs and, where appropriate, rescind funding from programs that fail to comply.
USDA announced it was pausing federal funds for certain Maine educational programs after Maine's refusal to provide equal opportunity to women and girls in educational programs, and said USDA would pause and, where appropriate, terminate certain nonessential funding if the Title IX violations were not resolved.
CPS CEO Macquline King appeared before the House Education and Workforce Committee on June 10 after a subpoena; the article says the Trump administration had opened investigations into CPS and threatened to withhold federal funding over alleged violations, while Rep. Mary Miller pressed claims tied to transgender student and bathroom policies.
The June 10 hearing before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce focused on gender identity policies, bathrooms and locker rooms, and parental-rights issues, with witnesses from Chicago, San Francisco and Loudoun County under congressional scrutiny.
Congress.gov shows H.R. 28 passed the House on January 14, 2025 and was received in the Senate on January 15, 2025; the bill remains at the 'Passed House' stage and has not become law.
Axios reported that a House Education and Workforce hearing on Chicago Public Schools' transgender-student policies was part of broader federal investigations and funding-threat rhetoric; Mary Miller pressed the witness on gender-identity disclosure and same-sex bathrooms, but no universal funding cutoff was completed.
Assessments
Mary E. Miller materially advanced the policy by cosponsoring H.R. 28 and voting for its House passage, but the bill never became law and did not create the promised automatic nationwide cutoff of federal funds for every violating school. Later executive actions and agency pauses were limited and case-specific, so they do not amount to full delivery of the promise.
Mary E. Miller materially advanced the policy by cosponsoring H.R. 28 and voting for House passage, but the measure did not become law because the Senate did not advance it. The separate executive actions and USDA funding pauses were limited, case-by-case responses rather than a completed, universal stripping of federal funding from every violating school. This is therefore a serious but unsuccessful attempt, not full delivery.
Miller materially advanced the promised policy by original-cosponsoring H.R. 28 and voting for House passage in 2025, and the Trump administration later issued an executive order directing agencies to rescind funding from noncompliant education programs with some agency enforcement activity. But Congress did not enact the statutory funding cutoff after the Senate failed to advance the companion bill, and the executive actions shown were case-by-case and limited rather than a completed nationwide stripping of federal funding from any violating school. This is partial delivery with clear legislative effort, not full fulfillment.
