Recent States Bans Transgender Bathrooms At School
Idaho Governor Brad Little signed legislation Friday barring transgender bathrooms at school, making the state the third this year — and this week — to enact such a law. The bill sailed through the state’s GOP-controlled legislature, passing each chamber with an overwhelming majority. Sarah Huckabee of Arkansas and Kim Reynolds of Iowa this week signed similar restrictions into law. Three other states — Alabama, Oklahoma and Tennessee — have enacted so-called bathroom bills since 2021. “Any student who prevails in an action brought under this chapter may recover from the defendant public school five thousand dollars ($5,000) for each instance that the student encountered a person of the opposite sex while accessing a public school restroom, changing facility, or sleeping quarters,” the law states.
