Texas HB1016 mandates public school policies on multi-occupancy bathrooms and changing facilities.

HB1016 requires Texas school districts to adopt policies for multi-occupancy bathrooms and changing facilities that protect student health, safety, and privacy. These facilities include restrooms, locker rooms, changing rooms, and shower rooms. The policy must ensure the confidentiality of student educational information and privacy interests. If a district allows separation by criteria other than biological sex assigned at birth, the policy must describe which facilities are not separated by sex, how students will be supervised, and any accommodations.
