Bill > SB212

This bill requires public schools in Missouri to designate shower rooms, locker rooms, and restrooms based solely on students' biological sex, which is defined as the physical condition of being male or female as identified at birth by anatomy and indicated on a birth certificate. The legislation mandates that these facilities can only be used by students of the same biological sex, prohibiting students from accessing facilities designated for the opposite biological sex. Students who assert a gender identity different from their biological sex may be provided alternative accommodations, such as using faculty facilities, single-stall restrooms, or unisex bathrooms, but only with written parental consent for minor students. These alternative accommodations explicitly cannot include using facilities designated for the opposite biological sex. The bill aims to ensure personal privacy and safety by maintaining sex-segregated spaces in public school settings where students might be in a state of undress.
