A new Ohio law, the Protect All Students Act, will mandate that K-12 and college students in the state can only use multiperson facilities aligned with their sex assigned at birth. As a result, transgender students in Ohio will be barred from using multiperson bathrooms aligning with their gender identities.

Effective Feb. 24, 2025, the Protect All Students Act, will require that students must use facilities such as restrooms, locker rooms and overnight accommodations that are aligned with their sex assigned at birth. The ban applies to schools and any related school-sponsored activities.
