Idaho lawmakers passed a sweeping bathroom ban Friday, approving legislation that would make it a crime for transgender people to use the bathroom that matches their gender identity, even inside privately owned businesses.
If Republican Gov. Brad Little signs the bill, Idaho will have the strictest bathroom ban in the nation, subjecting people to time behind bars if they knowingly enter a bathroom, locker room or changing area that does not correspond with their sex assigned at birth.
Violators could be charged with a misdemeanor and sentenced to a year in jail for a first offense, or a felony with up to five years in prison for a second offense.
How hard is it to just have single-occupancy “family/handicap” washrooms? They’re just better for everyone
It’s a little more expensive, but for anyone who actually cares about people, that’s what they’re doing. Individual toilets, shared sinks.
Like, i think the most expensive thing is getting sucked into any of this culture war bullshit or some weird legal case.
I dont get hiw it costs more to build single occupant washrooms (all you need is like 2) vs building 2 multis. If anything, it probably saves money and has less traffic since there would be less overall people able to peruse the facillitues unless they want to wait in line
