PROTECTING THE PRIVACY OF WOMEN – Adds to existing law to establish provisions regarding safety and privacy in certain covered entities and to provide for remedies.

Idaho's H 264 establishes rules requiring certain facilities - including correctional centers, domestic violence shelters, juvenile facilities, and state colleges - to designate restrooms, changing rooms, and sleeping quarters exclusively for either females or males. Covered entities must prevent individuals from using facilities designated for the opposite sex, with limited exceptions for emergencies, maintenance, medical aid, or assisting others. Individuals who encounter someone of the opposite sex in a designated facility may sue the entity for violating these rules, seeking court orders and legal fees. The law takes effect July 1, 2025, and applies specifically to the listed state-operated or state-supervised institutions.
