§60. Safety and privacy of women and girls in facilities designated for biological females
Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, no governmental agency,
as defined in R.S. 42:1102, shall prohibit distinctions between the sexes with respect to
athletics, correctional facilities, juvenile detention facilities, domestic violence shelters, or
other accommodation where biology, safety, or privacy are implicated and that result in
separate accommodations that are substantially related to the important government interest
of protecting the health, safety, and privacy of individuals in such circumstances. Nothing
in this Part shall prohibit a domestic violence shelter, public school, correctional facility, or
juvenile detention facility from:
(1) Establishing single-occupancy restrooms, changing rooms, or sleeping quarters
that are not designated by sex.
(2) Redesignating a multi-occupancy restroom or sleeping quarters for the exclusive
use of another group authorized under this Part as needed.
