Bill > HB1008

This bill defines "biological sex" as a person's physical condition of being male or female determined by chromosomes and anatomy at birth, and mandates that restrooms, locker rooms, and shower rooms in public elementary and secondary schools designated for student use and accessible by multiple students must be used only by students of the same biological sex, with this rule also applying to school-sponsored activities off-campus where students are undressing. The bill also outlines a process for "reasonable accommodation" for students who assert a gender different from their biological sex, requiring written consent from a parent or guardian, or the student themselves if they are an adult or emancipated minor, but these accommodations cannot include using facilities designated for the opposite biological sex if students of that sex are present or could be present, and instead may involve single-occupancy or unisex restrooms, or controlled use of faculty facilities, with this provision not applying to nonpublic schools.
