The bill amends Section 49-2-307 of the Montana Code Annotated to establish new unlawful discriminatory practices in educational institutions. Specifically, it prohibits educational institutions from allowing male individuals to participate in athletic programs designated for females. Additionally, it mandates that educational institutions must provide individuals access to restrooms, locker rooms, shower areas, or sleeping quarters that are not accessible by individuals of the opposite sex while in use.

The bill also outlines exceptions to these requirements, allowing for certain circumstances where individuals of the opposite sex may enter these facilities, such as for custodial purposes, medical assistance, or during emergencies. Furthermore, it clarifies that educational institutions can adopt policies to accommodate individuals protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act, as well as establish single-occupancy or family facilities. Overall, the bill aims to reinforce gender-specific participation in athletics and ensure privacy in facilities based on sex.
