This bill requires South Dakota public schools to designate all multi-occupancy bathrooms, changing rooms, and shower rooms for exclusive use by either females or males based on biological sex at birth. Students who do not identify with their biological sex designation must be offered access to single-occupancy unisex rooms or employee facilities as an alternative. The bill creates a new crime for unauthorized access to these designated multi-occupancy facilities.
