Democrats say the bill would open the door for sexual predators to exploit young people.
Over 400 human rights organizations had asked the Republican-controlled chamber to reject the bill, which "does not address the longstanding barriers all girls and women have faced in their pursuit of athletics."
The four cisgender female athletes’ suit seeks monetary damages, a change in the state’s trans policy, and erasing the records and awards of their trans competitors.
The decision means the two girls can play sports this school year.
Justices determined that the plaintiff was discriminated against for having "female genitalia" when the district "does not speculate, inspect, or otherwise inquire as to the genitalia of other male students.”
If the bill becomes law, New Hampshire would be the first northeastern state with such a statute.
A court had previously ruled the plantiffs had no standing.
