A bill to require that certain educational institutions in this state, when providing students with multiple occupancy restrooms, changing areas, and similar facilities, do so in a manner that ensures each student’s privacy from individuals of the opposite biological sex; and to provide for the powers and duties of certain state and local governmental officers and entities.
The bill, known as the "student restroom privacy act," mandates that educational institutions in Michigan ensure privacy for students in multiple occupancy restrooms, changing areas, and similar facilities by requiring usage based on biological sex, as defined by the original birth certificate. The bill outlines exceptions for certain individuals entering facilities designated for the opposite biological sex, including for custodial, maintenance, medical assistance, or when accompanying a student needing help.
