This 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 "male," "female," and "sex," and establishes provisions to ensure that multi-occupancy restrooms, changing rooms, and sleeping quarters are designated for exclusive use by either females or males. It mandates that individuals may only enter facilities designated for their 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 designated facilities or 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 those who prevail in court may recover 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.
