Bill > HB163

This bill creates new requirements for restroom facilities in public schools with more than 100 students, mandating that at least 95% of restroom facilities be designated for a specific biological sex as defined in existing Kentucky law. The bill defines "restroom facilities" as rooms containing at least one functioning toilet or urinal, including nearby sinks and mirrors. It also amends an existing statute (KRS 156.160) to incorporate this new requirement into the Kentucky Board of Education's administrative regulations. By specifying that most restroom facilities must be designated for a specific biological sex, the bill appears to be addressing concerns about gender-specific bathroom access in public schools. The legislation requires school administrations to ensure that the vast majority of their restroom facilities are clearly labeled and designated for either male or female students, based on biological sex as defined in Kentucky law, potentially limiting gender-neutral or alternative bathroom options for students.
