AB 469

This bill requires a school board to designate each pupil restroom and changing

room (together, changing room) located in a public school building and accessible by

multiple pupils as for the exclusive use of pupils of only one sex. The bill defines "sex"

as the physical condition of being male or female, as determined by an individual's

chromosomes and identified at birth by that individual's anatomy. The bill prohibits

a member of the female sex from using a changing room that has been designated as

the male changing room and prohibits a member of the male sex from using a

changing room that has been designated as the female changing room.

The bill permits a school board to temporarily designate a pupil restroom or

changing room for special events. The bill requires a school board to provide

reasonable accommodations to a pupil to use a single-occupancy changing room

when the following conditions are met: 1) the pupil identifies as a member of the

male sex but is a member of the female sex, or the pupil identifies as a member of the

female sex but is a member of the male sex; and 2) the pupil or the parent or guardian

of the pupil submits a written request to the school board to receive the

accommodation.

The bill permits a pupil or the pupil's parent or guardian to file a written

complaint regarding a violation of the requirements in the bill, and requires the

school board to investigate and attempt to resolve the complaint.
