Bill > SB1323

This bill establishes that "sex" is defined as the physical condition of being male or female, identified at birth by anatomy, and mandates that a school district's State Aid, which is funding provided by the state to public schools, will be withheld if its board of education adopts a policy allowing students of one sex to access restrooms or athletic changing facilities designated for the exclusive use of the other sex, and a parent or guardian then submits a written complaint that the board fails to respond within thirty days. The bill outlines that a response from the board that reverses such a policy or provides access to single-occupancy restrooms or changing facilities for students whose parents request accommodations will prevent the withholding of State Aid, and the State Board of Education is tasked with creating rules to implement these provisions, with the act taking effect on July 1, 2016, and declared an emergency.
