Bill > HB4024

This bill, known as the "Student Restroom Privacy Act," requires educational institutions to restrict access to multiple occupancy restrooms and changing areas based on an individual's biological sex, which is defined as the physical sex stated on their original birth certificate. The bill defines multiple occupancy restrooms or changing areas as spaces where more than one student can be present simultaneously and where students might be in various stages of undress, including restrooms, locker rooms, changing rooms, and shower rooms. Educational institutions must ensure that students only use facilities corresponding to their biological sex, with limited exceptions for specific circumstances such as custodial work, maintenance, medical assistance, accompanying students who need help, receiving assistance, or when facilities have been temporarily designated for a specific biological sex. The bill builds upon definitions from the Elliot-Larsen Civil Rights Act and aims to establish clear guidelines for maintaining privacy and separating restroom and changing area access based on biological sex in educational settings.
