The bill establishes requirements for public school restrooms and changing rooms in Wyoming, mandating that these facilities be designated for the exclusive use of either the male or female sex, as defined by the law. It requires each public school district serving students from pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade to comply with this designation to ensure privacy and safety. Additionally, the bill stipulates that reasonable accommodations, such as single-occupancy restrooms or changing rooms, must be provided for individuals who do not wish to use the designated facilities.

The legislation also outlines specific exceptions for entering restrooms or changing rooms designated for the opposite sex, including situations involving custodial duties, emergency medical assistance, and certain conditions for coaches during school-sponsored athletic activities. Furthermore, it mandates that school district boards of trustees adopt policies for disciplinary actions against noncompliance and allows parents or guardians to take legal action against schools for violations of these provisions. The bill is effective immediately upon its passage.
