Ohio Senate Passes Bathroom Transgender Bill

(11-14-24) Yesterday the Ohio Senate passed a bill that would ban transgender students from using bathrooms that align with their gender identity.

Republicans attached it to an unrelated bill before voting to pass it out of the House earlier this year. State Senate Republicans passed it along party lines in a 24-7 vote.

The portion of S.B. 104 that pertains to transgender students is titled the Protect All Students Act. The bill bans students in kindergarten through 12th grade, along with college students, from using bathrooms or locker rooms that don’t align with their gender assigned at birth.
