SB0215 defines "sex" and "gender" in Indiana law and mandates physical privacy in public buildings, schools, and businesses.

SB0215 amends the Indiana Code to define "sex" and "gender" as biological classifications based on reproductive potential. It mandates that public buildings, schools, and businesses designate multiple occupancy restrooms and changing areas exclusively for males or females. Individuals may only use areas designated for their sex, with exceptions for maintenance, medical assistance, or accompanying a child. The bill also allows for civil actions to enforce these provisions and provides immunity for governmental entities and employees from certain legal actions related to the chapter.
