#Idaho lawmakers on Friday approved #legislation to #criminalize the use of bathrooms, locker rooms or changing rooms, even in private businesses, by people whose sex at birth does not match the facilities’ sign on the door.
Senators approved 28-7 what might be the nation’s most restrictive #transgender bathroom bill Friday, after the Idaho House approved the ban last week. Gov. Brad Little, a #Republican, is expected to sign it.

The #legislation makes it a #crime for a person of one “biological sex” to “knowingly & willfully” enter bathrooms, locker rooms or changing rooms “designated for the opposite” sex. Violating the #law would be a #misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in #prison. A second offense within five years would be a #felony, carrying up to a 5-year prison sentence.
