| Description | Under Senate Bill 615, public and charter schools must require students to use restrooms and changing rooms corresponding to their sex assigned at birth. Lawmakers have applied specific access rules to certain restricted areas, such as limiting a specific women’s restroom near the legislative chamber at the State Capitol to individuals born as biological females. However, there is no comprehensive statewide ban prohibiting transgender adults from using public restrooms in private businesses, restaurants, or general commercial spaces outside of the K-12 public school system. Individual businesses and local properties may set their own facility access policies. |
