BOISE, Idaho — An Idaho law banning transgender students from using the bathroom that corresponds with their gender identity will be allowed to take effect after a Ninth Circuit Court upheld an Idaho law requiring sex-specific facilities for K-12 students on Thursday.
The ruling upholds Senate Bill 1100, passed in 2023, to separate public school locker rooms, showers, restrooms and overnight stays, based on a student's gender at birth.
That law was challenged in federal court by the Sexuality and Gender Alliance, a student organization at Boise High School in July of 2024.
