AI Summary
This bill requires all residential educational programs in Tennessee that involve minors to strictly segregate multi-occupancy restrooms, changing areas, and showers by biological sex as defined in § 1-3-105(c), regardless of the type or duration of the program. The bill applies to various educational settings, including schools and other residential educational programs where minors might stay overnight, and mandates that these facilities separate facilities based on a person's immutable biological sex. The legislation covers both elementary and secondary school programs, ensuring that multi-occupancy spaces are divided according to sex in any facility where minors are present. By adding new sections to different parts of Tennessee's education code (Title 49), the bill aims to establish a uniform policy for sex-based facility segregation in educational settings involving minors. The act will take effect immediately upon becoming law, with lawmakers citing public welfare as the justification for its implementation.
