Bill > SF0062

This bill establishes requirements for restroom, changing room, and sleeping quarter usage in Wyoming public schools based on biological sex at birth. The legislation mandates that all multiple-occupancy facilities in schools from pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade must be exclusively designated for either male or female students, with biological sex defined as the reproductive system's potential for producing eggs or sperm. The bill provides specific definitions for terms like "male," "female," and "school-sponsored activity" and requires school districts to offer reasonable accommodations, such as single-occupancy facilities, for students who do not wish to use the designated sex-specific spaces. The bill outlines numerous exceptions to these rules, including allowing entry for custodial, maintenance, emergency medical assistance, and coach-related purposes, with specific conditions such as ensuring students are fully clothed and having appropriate adult supervision. School district boards must adopt policies for disciplinary actions for non-compliance, and parents are granted the right to take legal action if schools fail to adhere to these provisions. The law aims to ensure privacy and safety for students while establishing clear guidelines for restroom and facility usage based on biological sex.
