What changed
South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson issued a public statement applauding the General Assembly for passing H.4756, the Student Physical Privacy Act. The bill would prohibit individuals from using women's restrooms and locker rooms that do not match their biological sex. Wilson highlighted his prior legal efforts to protect bathroom privacy provisions in multiple courts. The bill must still be ratified and signed by the Governor before becoming law.\n\nAffected parties, including public schools, universities, and government facilities, should monitor the bill's progress toward enactment. Once signed, institutions maintaining women's-only restrooms and locker rooms may face new compliance obligations to enforce the privacy restrictions outlined in the legislation.
What to do next

- Review compliance obligations if the bill becomes law

(COLUMBIA, S.C.) – South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson made the following statement regarding the passage of H.4756 in the South Carolina General Assembly.
