Died when the session ended The 2024 session adjourned on April 19, 2024, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died. What’s a funnel?

What’s in it

AI summary All public and private schools in Iowa would be required to make sure students use bathrooms that match their biological sex. This rule applies to both single-person and multi-person restrooms. The law also states that following these rules is not considered illegal discrimination.1

Read the official explanation

This bill requires elementary and secondary public and nonpublic schools to designate and allow the use of multiple occupancy toilet facilities only by persons of the same biological sex. The bill prohibits a person from entering a school single and multiple occupancy toilet facility that does not correspond with the person’s biological sex. The bill provides that such designations and prohibitions do not constitute unfair or discriminatory practices in violation of the Iowa civil rights Act, Code chapter 216.
