Summary

The Privacy Protection Act would require correctional facilities, domestic‑violence shelters, juvenile detention centers and other government buildings to designate restrooms, changing rooms and overnight areas for exclusive use by either male or female sex, with limited exceptions. It also bars school employees from using a minor student's name or pronouns that differ from the student's legal name or sex without parental permission, while protecting employees and students from discipline for refusing such usage. The bill aims to limit gender‑identity accommodations in public spaces and schools.
