HB 1233 (SB 1367) further complicates issues as the Senate Bill would allow the school to involve lawsuits if transgender students do not comply with in-house regulations and use bathrooms that accommodate the sex at both.

Jason Zachary has argued the bill has been put in place to offer “protection” for everyone. “This bill addresses every child.
It just doesn’t address a specific child or singles anyone out. It literally addresses the protection and wellbeing of every child,” he said.
