The bill amends the Revised School Code by adding Section 1146a, which mandates that public schools ensure that all multiple-occupancy restrooms and changing areas designated for pupil use are utilized based solely on biological sex. This means that individuals must use these facilities according to the sex listed on their original birth certificate. However, there are specific exceptions outlined in subsection (2) where individuals may enter facilities designated for the opposite biological sex, including circumstances such as custodial or maintenance purposes, rendering medical assistance, or accompanying a pupil who requires assistance.

Additionally, the bill defines key terms such as "authorized caregiver," "biological sex," and "multiple-occupancy restroom or changing area." The definitions clarify the scope of the bill and the intended application of the regulations regarding restroom and changing area usage in public schools. Overall, the legislation aims to establish clear guidelines for restroom and changing area access based on biological sex while allowing for certain exceptions to accommodate specific situations.
