PROTECTING THE PRIVACY OF WOMEN – Adds to existing law to establish provisions regarding safety and privacy in certain covered entities and to provide for remedies.
H 190 requires Idaho's correctional facilities, domestic violence shelters, juvenile centers, and state educational institutions (covered entities) to designate multi-occupancy restrooms, changing rooms, and sleeping quarters exclusively for females or males. It prohibits individuals from entering these spaces designated for the opposite sex, with limited exceptions for maintenance, medical care, emergencies, or specific assistance needs. The bill provides a legal remedy allowing individuals to sue covered entities if they encounter someone of the opposite sex in a designated space or are forced to share sleeping quarters with someone of the opposite sex, with claims needing to be filed within two years. It also mandates reasonable accommodations for students or employees unwilling to use multi-occupancy facilities of their sex, but does not permit access to opposite-sex facilities while others are present.
