Public schools; restrooms; reasonable accommodations
Fifty-seventh Legislature - First Regular Session (2025)
A reasonable accommodation under this section does not include access to a restroom or changing facility that is designated for use by persons of the opposite sex while persons of the opposite sex are present or could be present.
F. Any person who encounters a person of the opposite sex in a multi-occupancy restroom or changing facility designated for the person's sex and located in a public school building or who is required by the public school to share sleeping quarters with a person of the opposite sex, unless such persons are of the same family, has a private cause of action against the public school if the public school gave the person of the opposite sex permission to use the restroom, changing facility or sleeping quarters. For the purposes of this subsection, "family" means a person's spouse, parent or guardian, child, sibling or grandparent.
