The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6577, seeks to amend current statutes to explicitly prohibit biological males from accessing women's or girls' bathrooms, lavatories, locker rooms, and changing rooms. This legislative action is aimed at enhancing the protection of girls and women in these spaces by ensuring that only individuals who are biologically female can enter them.
The bill does not specify any deletions from existing law but introduces new legal language that clearly defines the restrictions on access to these facilities based on biological sex. The intent behind this legislation is to address concerns regarding safety and privacy for women and girls in public restrooms and similar environments.
