  • The new law will require K-12 and college students to use bathrooms and locker rooms that match their sex assigned at birth.

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine signed a bill into law on November 27, 2024, that bans transgender individuals from using public restrooms and locker rooms that align with their gender identity. The legislation, known as House Bill 183, mandates that public facilities must be used according to the sex assigned at birth. This move has sparked significant controversy, with supporters arguing it protects privacy and safety, while opponents, including civil rights groups, claim it discriminates against transgender people, potentially leading to increased harassment and mental health issues. The bill also includes provisions for single-occupancy restrooms and allows for legal action against schools and other public entities that do not comply. Critics argue that the law could face legal challenges on the grounds of violating federal anti-discrimination laws.
