HF 565 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Student physical privacy provided.

HF 565 requires Minnesota public schools to designate restrooms, locker rooms, changing rooms, and showers exclusively by sex based on biological characteristics (chromosomes and anatomy). It defines "sex" as determined by a person's chromosomes and anatomy, prohibiting individuals with a Y chromosome from using facilities designated for females. Schools must provide separate, private areas for students based on sex in all facilities where students may be undressed, with limited exceptions for single-occupancy spaces due to special circumstances. The bill also includes separate provisions for athletic teams, restricting female-designated teams to those without a Y chromosome.
