UPDATE: House Bill 1473 has been signed by Gov. Doug Burgum. 

***

House Bill 1473 would designate bathrooms and locker/shower rooms at schools and other state facilities as single sex, defining sex as that which was assigned at birth. This means transgender people would be prohibited from using the space that affirms their gender identity.

The ACLU of North Dakota opposes House Bill 1473. Policies that single out transgender youth like this violate federal and constitutional law.
