The bill establishes specific requirements for the use of sex-designated restrooms, showers, sleeping quarters, and locker room facilities in public and educational facilities in Wyoming. It mandates that multi-occupancy changing areas, restrooms, and sleeping quarters be designated exclusively for males or females, and prohibits individuals from entering facilities designated for the opposite sex. The bill also outlines exceptions for single-occupancy facilities, emergency situations, and specific roles such as maintenance or medical personnel.
