A new Ohio law banning transgender students from using school bathrooms and locker rooms that align with their gender identity takes effect Tuesday.
Ohio lawmakers passed the bathroom ban bill and Gov. Mike DeWine signed it into law in November.
The new law requires people at Ohio K-12 public schools and public and private colleges and universities to use the restroom that matches up with their gender assigned at birth. It also bans students from sharing overnight accommodations with people of the opposite sex from their assigned sex at birth at K-12 schools.
