Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

School boards must enforce these rules

Every school board must put the male‑ or female‑only labels in place across the district and cannot adopt policies that conflict with this law. Boards must set discipline for people who refuse to follow the rules. Parents or legal guardians of enrolled, attending students can go to court to enforce the designation, accommodation, and exception rules and ask for a court order.

Sex-based bathrooms with single-user options

Wyoming public schools that serve pre‑K through 12 must label every multi‑person bathroom, changing room, and sleeping area as male or female. Students and visitors must use rooms that match their sex at birth, as defined in the law. If someone does not want to use a multi‑person room on that basis, the district must offer a reasonable option, like a single‑user restroom, changing room, or sleeping space. The accommodation cannot be using an opposite‑sex room while people of that sex are or could be present.

When opposite-sex entry is allowed

The law lists times a person may enter a multi‑person room marked for the opposite sex. Examples include repairs or inspection, emergency medical help, helping someone due to disability, age, or caregiving needs, and entries by coaches or staff under set safeguards. It also allows entries during disasters or urgent safety threats, by officials doing their jobs after checking no one is undressed, and when a room is temporarily reassigned.
