SB 1558 Voted Do Pass S Education Committee

SB 1558 - This act provides that private schools serving students from prekindergarten through 12th grade shall not be civilly liable for designating restrooms and changing areas for the exclusive use of males or females only, based on the biological sex listed on an individual's original birth certificate. Exceptions are allowed for maintenance staff, emergency medical assistance, or parents accompanying children aged eight or younger with school permission. Additionally, political subdivisions are prohibited from passing rules that would prevent private schools from establishing single-sex facilities. Any political subdivision that violates this act shall cover the private school’s legal costs in any resulting lawsuit. The act contains an emergency clause. This act is identical to HCS/HB 1197 (2025) and to provisions in SCS/HCS/HB 2335 (2026), SCS/HCS/HB 2682 (2026), SCS/HCS/HB 2748 (2026), SCS/HCS/HBs 2913 & 3228, HCS/SS/SB 38 (2025), and in HCS/SS/SB 160 (2025), and is similar to HCS/HB 1893 (2026).
