The Ohio Senate has passed a bill that would require transgender students to use bathrooms and locker rooms that correspond with their gender assigned at birth, rather than their gender identity.
The bill, which applies to public K-12 schools and higher education institutions, now awaits the signature of Governor Mike DeWine. If signed into law, the legislation would mark a significant restriction on transgender rights in the state.
The bill has sparked heated debate, with supporters arguing it protects privacy and opponents claiming it discriminates against transgender students.
