On Dec. 4, Texas implemented Senate Bill 8 — also known as the Texas Women’s Privacy Act, or more commonly known as a “bathroom bill” — aimed at restricting transgender people’s access to certain restrooms in the state.
Republicans in Texas spent more than a decade pushing for a bathroom bill like SB 8. The new law imposes sex-based restrictions on restrooms and changing rooms in public buildings, schools and universities, and adds similar rules in prisons and family violence shelters.
Supporters say it protects privacy; opponents warn its vague enforcement could lead to oversurveillance and harassment.
Here’s what to know about SB 8, the areas it affects and why lawmakers passed it.
