2023 House Bill 30: An Act Relating to Student Privacy

This bill would require schools to designate all multiple-person-capacity restrooms/locker rooms/bathroom facilities as either male or female-only, and would require students to only use the facilities associated with their assigned sex at birth. For students not comfortable doing so, the bill requires parental permission to request other “accommodations,” which cannot include the use of any space used by students of the “opposite biological sex.”

KSVT strongly opposes this bill which targets already-vulnerable transgender and queer students and lays out policies that would make bathroom use complex, confusing, and dangerous for students who don’t identify with their assigned sex at birth. Read more here.
