<p>Ohio Republican Gov. Mike DeWine signed a bill on Tuesday prohibiting trans-identifying students from using bathrooms and locker rooms that don&#8217;t match their biological sex.</p>
<p>When the law takes effect in 90 days, public and private K-12 schools, along with colleges and universities, must ensure that bathrooms, locker rooms, and overnight accommodations are divided by biological sex, The Hill <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/lgbtq/5012298-dewine-ohio-transgender-students-bathroom-use/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. The bill was approved by Ohio&#8217;s Republican-controlled state Senate earlier this month. Democrats were united in their opposition to the legislation.</p>
<p>The new Ohio law also bans schools from building multi-occupancy &#8220;all-gender&#8221; facilities. According to the Ohio Capital Journal, the law <a href="https://ohiocapitaljournal.com/2024/11/27/ohio-gov-mike-dewine-signs-transgender-bathroom-ban-bill-into-law/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">does not prohibit</a> schools from having non-gendered single-occupancy bathrooms.</p>
<p>Ohio <a href="https://www.lgbtmap.org/equality-maps/nondiscrimination/bathroom_bans" target="_blank" rel="noopener">joins</a> more than a dozen other states that have taken action to ensure that K-12 students use bathrooms and locker rooms that align with their biological sex.</p>
<p>The Republicans who sponsored the original state House bill thanked DeWine for signing it into law.</p>
<p>&#8220;Thank you @GovMikeDeWine for signing the bill yesterday that contains HB 183,&#8221; state Rep. Adam Bird <a href="https://x.com/AdamCBird/status/1861759876411920724" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> on X. &#8220;[Beth Lear] and I have been working on this bill for over a year and we are thankful that individuals will not have to worry about the opposite sex coming into the restrooms, locker rooms, and changing rooms.&#8221;</p>
<p>In response, Lear added, &#8220;Yes, thank you @GovMikeDeWine for signing SB 104 to protect ALL students. &#8221;</p>
<p>DeWine was also praised by Republican Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, who <a href="https://x.com/DaveYostOH/status/1861778495983985084" target="_blank" rel="noopener">thanked</a> the governor &#8220;for siding with biology, history safety and common sense.&#8221;</p>
<p>Democrats and leftist activists decried DeWine&#8217;s signing of the legislation. The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio <a href="https://x.com/acluohio/status/1861787449980080135" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>, &#8220;Transgender people are part of the fabric of Ohio; our families, our workplaces, and our neighborhoods. 🏳️‍⚧️ We remain steadfast in our commitment to the LGBTQ+ community and are closely considering next steps.&#8221;</p>

<p>The new law is yet another victory for conservatives in the state on the transgender issue. Last year, DeWine <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ohio-gop-governor-vetoes-bans-on-gender-procedures-for-minors-biological-boys-competing-in-girls-sports" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vetoed</a> bans on minors undergoing gender procedures and boys competing against girls in the state, but <span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">the state legislature overrode his veto</span> in January 2024.</p>
