The proposed bill aims to enhance safety and privacy in public facilities by establishing clear guidelines for the designation of multi-occupancy restrooms, changing rooms, and sleeping quarters based on an individual's biological sex. It clarifies definitions of "sex," "male," and "female" in state law, emphasizing the need to preserve privacy in spaces traditionally reserved for women. The bill mandates that shelters and correctional facilities designate these areas for the exclusive use of either females or males, ensuring individuals can only access spaces designated for their sex. It also outlines provisions for privacy, requiring facilities to take reasonable steps to protect individuals from members of the opposite sex in designated areas, while allowing exceptions for specific purposes such as maintenance or medical assistance.

Furthermore, the bill establishes a private cause of action for individuals who encounter members of the opposite sex in designated facilities, allowing them to pursue legal action if proper protocols are not followed. It includes provisions for civil actions, a two-year statute of limitations for filing claims, and the potential recovery of attorney fees for prevailing parties. The bill also allows for the creation of single-occupancy or family facilities and provides guidelines for accommodating individuals protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act, as well as young children and elderly persons needing assistance. A severability clause is included to ensure that if any provision is found invalid, the remaining provisions will still be enforceable.
