This bill introduces new regulations regarding the use of multi-occupancy changing rooms, restrooms, and shower rooms in public schools and state-owned facilities in South Dakota. It mandates that these facilities be designated for exclusive use by either females or males, with specific definitions provided for "female" and "male" based on biological sex at birth. The bill also outlines provisions for reasonable accommodations for students who are unable or unwilling to use the designated facilities, allowing them to request access to unisex or single-occupancy rooms. Additionally, it establishes penalties for individuals who violate these designations, classifying such violations as a Class 2 misdemeanor.

The bill further clarifies that certain exceptions apply to the prohibitions, including accommodations for individuals with disabilities, parents accompanying young children, and law enforcement or emergency personnel acting in their official capacity. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining privacy and safety in these facilities while also addressing the needs of students who may not fit traditional gender classifications. Overall, the legislation aims to create a structured environment for the use of public restrooms and changing facilities while balancing the rights and needs of all students.
