HB 64 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Education - As enacted, requires all residential educational programs in this state that allow minors to participate or to access residential facilities, including staying overnight in such facilities, to segregate certain restrooms, changing areas, and showers by immutable biological sex. - Amends TCA Title 49.

HB 64 requires all residential educational programs in Tennessee (including camps, boarding schools, or overnight facilities) that allow minors to participate or access facilities to separate restrooms, changing areas, and showers by "immutable biological sex" as defined in Tennessee law. This applies universally to all such programs, regardless of their type or duration. The law, effective April 3, 2025, mandates physical segregation based on biological sex assigned at birth, directly affecting minors using these facilities. It amends multiple sections of Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, to enforce this requirement.
