Public schools would separate shared student bathrooms by sex at birth

Public school staff would provide separate areas based on students' sex at birth. The rules would cover public school settings where students may undress around other students and student showers, locker rooms, and restrooms accessible to multiple students at once. Students could not use shared student facilities designated for the opposite sex. Schools could offer alternatives to students who tell officials their gender differs from their sex at birth. Minors would need written consent from a parent or legal guardian. Alternatives could include controlled use of staff facilities or single-stall bathrooms, but could not include student facilities designated for the opposite sex.

Schools and colleges would limit participation in sports competitions designated by sex. The restriction would cover student sports competitions at public and private schools, charter schools, and public and private colleges. A female student could enter a male competition if no corresponding female competition is offered or available. Eligibility would use the sex shown on a birth certificate, or another government record if the certificate is unobtainable. The entry must date from at or near birth or correct a clerical error. The sports section would have no stated expiration date.

Schools violating the sports restriction would lose state funding, and people denied athletic opportunities because of a violation could sue. The funding rule would cover schools and colleges subject to the sports restriction. Parents, guardians, and students over eighteen could bring the lawsuits. The funding penalty would apply to violations of the ban on competing in sports designated for the opposite sex, with the stated exception for female students. A lawsuit would require a student to have lost an athletic opportunity because of a violation. Available relief would include court orders and reasonable attorney fees, costs, and expenses.
