Sets a nationwide rule for school locker rooms under Title IX. It bans any person from using a locker room with people of a different sex while the room is actively in use. “Sex” is defined only by reproductive biology and genetics at birth, not gender identity. The rule applies to settings connected to education programs or activities (such as K–12 schools and colleges that receive federal funds). It takes effect 30 days after enactment.
Prohibits an individual of one sex (as determined solely on reproductive biology and genetics at birth) from using a locker room while that locker room is in active use by individuals of a different sex when the use is in connection with an education program or activity.
The Act takes effect 30 days after the date of enactment of the Act.
Students and school communities are directly affected. Schools that receive federal funds will need to ensure locker rooms are used only by people of the same sex (as defined at birth) during active use. Administrators may need to revise policies, scheduling, supervision, signage, and training to comply and respond to complaints.
Transgender students and staff would be restricted from using locker rooms that align with their gender identity during active use. Schools may explore alternative arrangements (e.g., private changing areas or different scheduling) to avoid conflicts, though the Act does not specify accommodations. Parents and staff may see changes in facility procedures and enforcement practices. Institutions could face Title IX compliance reviews or complaints if policies are not updated or enforced.
