House Bill 64, sponsored by Bulso, amends various sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated related to residential educational programs. The bill mandates that all such programs, regardless of their type or duration, which allow minors to access residential facilities, must segregate restrooms, changing areas, and showers by sex. The definition of "sex" is referenced from section 1-3-105(c) of the Tennessee Code.
This legislation aims to ensure the privacy and safety of minors in residential educational settings by establishing clear guidelines for the segregation of facilities based on sex. The bill will take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation.
