This bill amends existing laws regarding privacy in public schools and institutions of higher education, specifically focusing on the use of restrooms, changing areas, and sleeping quarters. It defines key terms such as "sex," "multiple occupancy restroom," and "sleeping quarters," and mandates that these facilities be designated for the exclusive use of either males or females. The bill prohibits unrelated students of the opposite sex from sharing sleeping quarters during school events, while allowing for reasonable accommodations such as single-occupancy restrooms for those who do not wish to comply with the gender-specific provisions. Additionally, it requires that private changing areas be provided and outlines circumstances under which individuals may enter facilities designated for the opposite sex.

The legislation also establishes a private cause of action for individuals who encounter members of the opposite sex in designated facilities, allowing them to seek declaratory and injunctive relief against the covered entity. It includes provisions for disciplinary actions against noncompliant school districts and public charter schools, as well as a decrease in state funding for those found in violation. The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
