AI Summary
This bill, known as the Kentucky Student Privacy Act, creates new sections in KRS Chapter 158 to ensure student privacy in school restrooms, locker rooms, and showers. The bill requires students to use facilities designated for their biological sex and allows schools to provide accommodations for students who assert their gender is different from their biological sex, as long as those accommodations do not include using facilities designated for the opposite biological sex. The bill also provides students with a private cause of action against schools if they encounter a person of the opposite biological sex in a facility designated for their own biological sex and the school either gave the person permission to use the facility or failed to take reasonable steps to prohibit the person from using it. The bill declares an emergency and takes effect upon passage.
