The bill, SB104, originally aimed to help dual-enrolled high school students earn college credits, but a provision was added to bar transgender people from using bathrooms aligned with their gender identity.
The bill declares that 'no institution of higher education shall knowingly permit' transgender people to use bathrooms aligned with their gender identity, marking a significant restriction.
Ohio has joined a very small number of states, becoming the tenth to bar transgender adults from some public bathrooms, extending this ban to private colleges as well.
Primary sponsor Adam Bird claims that targeting trans and queer communities will be a top priority for Ohio's legislature, reflecting a broader anti-trans agenda in the state.
