Bill > HB4024

This bill, known as the "Student Restroom Privacy Act," requires educational institutions to ensure that multiple-occupancy restrooms and changing areas are used exclusively by students based on their biological sex as determined by their original birth certificate. The bill defines an educational institution broadly to include public schools, colleges, universities, and any educational institution receiving state funds. It specifically defines a multiple-occupancy restroom or changing area as a space designed for more than one student to use simultaneously, where students might be in various stages of undress. The bill provides several exceptions to the sex-based usage rule, such as allowing entry for custodial purposes, maintenance, medical assistance, or when accompanying a student who needs help, but only when the space is cleared of other students. Single-occupancy restrooms are exempt from these restrictions and can be used by individuals of any sex. The legislation aims to address privacy concerns by ensuring that students only use restrooms and changing areas that match their biological sex at birth, with specific provisions to maintain safety and accommodate necessary assistance.
