Establishes immunity from civil liability for certain actions taken by private schools related to access to restrooms or changing areas

This Missouri bill grants private K-12 schools legal immunity when designating restrooms or changing areas exclusively for males or females based on birth certificate sex. It prohibits local governments from banning such policies and requires them to cover a school’s legal costs if they challenge the policy. Exceptions allow maintenance staff, emergency responders, and parents with children under 8 to enter designated areas. The law directly affects private schools in Missouri and takes immediate effect for the 2026-27 school year.
