On Wednesday the Arkansas House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a measure that would protect the physical privacy and safety of students at public school
H.B. 1156 by Rep. Mary Bentley (R – Perryville) and Sen. Dan Sullivan (R – Jonesboro) addresses privacy in public school locker rooms, showers, restrooms, changing areas, and similar facilities by requiring public schools to designate these facilities for “male” or “female” use.
This is a good bill that will protect public school students in Arkansas.
The bill passed with 80 votes in the Arkansas House of Representatives on Wednesday.
It now goes to the Arkansas Senate for consideration.
