CURRENT BILL SUMMARY
SB 974 - This act requires that all public school shower rooms, locker rooms, and restrooms accessible for use by multiple students shall be designated for and used by male or female students only. The act provides for the best available accommodations for any student who asserts that his or her gender differs from his or her biological sex. Such accommodations may include, but are not limited to, controlled use of faculty shower rooms, locker rooms, or restrooms, or access to single-stall and unisex restrooms.
This act is identical to HB 2355 (2024), HB 2357 (2024), SB 690 (2018), and SCS/SB 98 (2017), is substantially similar to SB 720 (2016), and is similar to SB 728 (2024), SB 1274 (2024), and a provision in SB 165 (2023).
