This bill introduces new regulations regarding the use of multi-occupancy changing rooms, restrooms, and sleeping quarters 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, ensuring that individuals are not required to share spaces with members of the opposite sex unless they are family members. The bill also outlines the definitions of key terms such as "changing room," "female," "male," and "reasonable accommodation," and specifies that if a student is unable or unwilling to use the designated facilities, they may request a reasonable accommodation from the school administrator.

Additionally, the bill establishes legal protections for individuals who encounter members of the opposite sex in designated facilities, allowing them to pursue civil action against the school district or state for violations. It includes provisions for exceptions to the prohibitions, such as for individuals assisting children or those with disabilities, as well as law enforcement and emergency personnel. The bill also states that neither the state nor political subdivisions will be held liable for compliance with these regulations, and the attorney general will provide legal representation in related lawsuits.
