Securing Restrooms and Changing Areas in Public Schools
2025 - South Dakota House of Representatives
Conservatives Support
Description
HB 1259 ensures that multi-occupancy single-sex environments in public schools, including restrooms and changing rooms, remain exclusively for use by those of a single biological sex. CPAC only recognizes two biological sexes, so it supports this bill. HB 1259 was passed by the South Dakota House of Representatives in a 49-21 vote on February 19, 2025, and it was signed into law by Governor Larry Rhoden.
