SAFETY AND PRIVACY – Adds to existing law to establish provisions regarding safety and privacy in certain covered entities and to provide for remedies.

Idaho's H 49 establishes requirements for single-sex use in specific facilities. It mandates that covered entities - including correctional facilities, domestic violence shelters, public buildings, and state educational institutions - designate multi-occupancy restrooms, changing rooms, and sleeping quarters exclusively for males or females. The bill prohibits individuals from entering these spaces unless they match the designated sex, with limited exceptions for maintenance, medical assistance, law enforcement, or emergencies. It also creates a legal remedy allowing individuals to sue covered entities if they encounter someone of the opposite sex in a designated space or are forced to share sleeping quarters with someone of the opposite sex, with claims needing to be filed within two years.
