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) that allow individuals to enter facilities designated for the opposite biological sex under certain circumstances, such as for custodial, maintenance, or medical assistance purposes, or when 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" to clarify the scope of the law. The definitions emphasize the physical condition of being male or female and describe the types of facilities covered under this regulation, which include restrooms, locker rooms, changing rooms, and shower rooms within public school buildings.
