HB1005DeadEducation
provide for the designated use of public school multi-occupancy rooms and sleeping rooms.
This bill requires South Dakota public schools to designate multi-occupancy bathrooms, changing rooms, and showers for exclusive use by students of the same biological sex (defined by genetics and anatomy at birth). Students who are unable or unwilling to use facilities designated for their biological sex can request a single-occupancy alternative, but cannot request access to facilities designated for the opposite sex, with accommodations lasting no longer than one school year.
