Definitions and general provisions; requiring certain changing rooms and restrooms to be designated for the exclusive use of the male or female sex. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 2003 requires single-sex designations for changing rooms and restrooms in covered entities (colleges, government buildings, and state-funded domestic violence shelters), prohibiting individuals from entering facilities designated for the opposite sex except in specific circumstances like emergencies, medical aid, or athletic coaching with required accompaniment. It mandates that institutions of higher education provide housing options for students to live exclusively with others of the same sex and prohibits requiring students to share sleeping quarters with someone of the opposite sex unless related by family. The bill creates legal recourse for individuals denied access to their designated facility or forced to share sleeping quarters, allowing lawsuits against covered entities that fail to enforce these rules. These provisions apply immediately upon enactment as an emergency measure.
