Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon signed House Bill 72, enabling individuals to sue if they encounter transgender people in specific single-sex facilities such as restrooms and changing rooms. The law, effective July 1, is directed at government-owned facilities, excluding K-12 schools but including universities and community colleges. The bill aims to protect women's privacy by mandating ‘reasonable steps’ from entities to restrict access to such spaces. Its lead sponsor emphasizes the importance of safety and clarity in policies regarding privacy concerns in public spaces.
"This bill ensures that women and girls can feel safe and respected in places where privacy is essential - bathrooms, locker rooms, showers, and correctional facilities."
