Bathroom Bill signed into Law by Governor Little.  The article begins:

“On March 23, Governor Little signed S1100 [5], As Amended, making the bill the law. S1100, also known as the Bathroom Bill, garnered much attention, as it addresses gender identity and what is and is not allowed in some school facilities. The measure had passed in both the House and the Senate with an overwhelming majority. The law requires public schools to maintain separate restrooms, showers, and changing areas for biological boys and biological girls. It also requires the school to provide reasonable accommodations for any student who is unwilling, or unable, to use a multi-occupancy facility designated for his or her biological sex. “
