Residential youth programs separate facilities by sex

The law requires all Tennessee residential educational programs that allow minors to use residential facilities to separate multi-occupancy restrooms, changing areas, and showers by sex, as defined in state law.

The law does not provide funding or spell out enforcement steps.
