Alabama lawmakers recently approved a bill, SB129, that could have significant implications for public schools and universities in the state. If signed into law by Gov. Kay Ivey, the bill would prohibit these institutions from maintaining or funding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.
One of the key provisions of the bill is the requirement for public universities to designate restrooms based on biological sex, as defined by the individual's original birth certificate. This move aligns with Alabama law's definition of sex as the physical condition of being male or female.
