AI Summary
This bill, known as the Sports and Spaces Act, requires schools in Nebraska to designate bathrooms, locker rooms, and athletic teams based on a person's biological sex (male or female). It prohibits biological males from using facilities or participating in sports designated for biological females, and vice versa, with some exceptions for school officials and employees. The bill also allows students who are harmed by a school's violation of the Act to file a civil lawsuit against the school and provides protections against retaliation for reporting such violations. The bill becomes operative on August 1, 2023 and includes a severability clause.
