Public facility limits with care exceptions

South Dakota state and local governments must designate shared changing rooms, restrooms, and sleeping quarters for females or males only. This covers facilities they own and spaces they lease or occupy. Rooms used only by firefighters or law enforcement personnel acting officially are exempt. Access exceptions cover parents or lawful chaperones accompanying children under 10, and people helping someone because of age or disability. They also cover law enforcement officers, fire officials, firefighters, and other state or local employees acting officially. People providing emergency medical help are exempt. Cleaning, maintenance, and inspection workers are exempt only when the changing room or restroom is empty. Exceptions also cover services or aid during natural disasters or declared emergencies, or when needed to maintain order and safety. The rules remain subject to exceptions in South Dakota laws 13-32-22 and 13-32-23.
