BOISE, Idaho (AP) — An Idaho law restricting which bathrooms transgender students can use in schools will go into effect while a court challenge plays out.
It prohibits transgender students from using public school restrooms and locker rooms that align with their gender identity.
It also allows other students to sue their school if they encounter a student using a bathroom that doesn’t align with their sex assigned at birth.
About a quarter of Idaho schools allow transgender students to use restrooms and locker rooms that align with their gender identity, Nye said in a previous decision.
The group also pushed a new Idaho law criminalizing gender-affirming health care for minors.
