Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee has signed a discriminatory bill denying transgender students access to changing facilities consistent with their gender identity. HB 1233 (SB 1367) has been signed by Gov Lee, according to Tennessee’s General Assembly page.
The discriminatory bill calls for public schools to make “reasonable accommodation” for those unwilling to use changing facilities that do not align with their designated sex.
The Tennessee Accommodations for All Children Act, known as HB1233, cites restrooms, locker rooms, showrooms and changing facilities as specific examples of segregation.
Republican Gov. Lee’s new legislation strictly applies to those in a public school building or at a school-sponsored activity.
