The proposed bill introduces a new Chapter 11 to Title 20 of the Idaho Code, focusing on safety and privacy in certain covered entities, which include correctional facilities, domestic violence shelters, juvenile correctional centers, public buildings, and state educational institutions. The chapter aims to clarify the definitions of sex, male, and female in state law and to ensure the privacy and safety of individuals in women's restrooms, changing rooms, and sleeping quarters. It mandates that covered entities designate multi-occupancy restrooms, changing rooms, and sleeping quarters for exclusive use by either females or males, and prohibits individuals from entering spaces designated for the opposite sex, with specific exceptions for custodial services, medical assistance, law enforcement, and emergencies.

Additionally, the bill provides individuals with a private cause of action for declaratory and injunctive relief if they encounter a person of the opposite sex in a designated restroom or changing room, or if they are required to share sleeping quarters with someone of the opposite sex. The bill stipulates that civil actions must be initiated within two years of the violation, and individuals who prevail in court may recover reasonable attorney's fees and costs. The act includes a severability clause and is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, due to an emergency declaration.
