DescriptionHB 752 prohibits transgender individuals from entering a bathroom, changing room, or other facilities aligning with their gender identity in government buildings or public accommodations.

The violations carry steep penalties; the first violation is a misdemeanor with up to one year in county jail while a second violation is a felony with up to five years in state prison. A fourth violation carries up to life in prison.

On June 16th, 2026 a federal judge partially blocked the law stating “The Court enjoins enforcement of H.B. 752 as against all transgender people who seek to use a restroom in a government-owned building or place of public accommodation in Idaho consistent with their gender identity wherever: (1) the covered restroom designated for use by sex is a single-user facility; or (2) when a single-user restroom is not available because no single-user restroom exists on the same floor as the multi-user facilities or all single-user restrooms on the same floor as the multi-user facilities are occupied or not in service”.
