Governor Mike DeWine has signed a bill that limits bathroom access for transgender individuals in Ohio, as stated by Republican legislators.

This new legislation requires K-12 and college students to utilize bathrooms and locker rooms that align with their sex at birth. Additionally, it prohibits multiple-occupancy gender-neutral restrooms and disallows transgender students from sharing overnight accommodations with peers of the same gender.

The provisions were included in Senate Bill 104, aimed at revising a state college credit program. Representative Adam Bird, R-New Richmond, expressed gratitude to Governor DeWine for signing the bill. Senator Andrew Brenner, R-Delaware, one of the bill’s sponsors, confirmed the governor’s endorsement of the legislation.

So far, DeWine has not publicly commented on the bill—a common practice for him—and his spokesperson has not replied promptly to inquiries.

“Common sense is on the rise across America today,” stated Aaron Baer, President of the Center for Christian Virtue, in a statement issued Wednesday morning. “No student should be compelled to enter a bathroom or changing space with a student of the opposite sex, and Ohio’s children are now better safeguarded thanks to Governor DeWine’s choice to sign this bill.”

The new restrictions do not impact school staff, emergency situations, or individuals assisting young children or people with disabilities. Schools are still permitted to provide single-use and family restrooms.

Ohio becomes one of at least a dozen states with regulations limiting restroom access for transgender individuals. According to a survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last year, about 3.3% of high school students identify as transgender, while 2.2% are questioning their gender identity.

DeWine’s decision follows nearly a year after he vetoed legislation aimed at banning gender-affirming care for minors and prohibiting transgender girls and women from participating in female sports. The governor faced backlash from President-elect Donald Trump and both House and Senate Republicans, who moved to override his veto.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio has filed a lawsuit against the state on behalf of two transgender girls and their families, although a judge in Franklin County allowed the law to be enacted in August. The legal proceedings continue.
