What This Bill Would Do

House Bill 2075 requires all state-owned or state-funded public buildings, public schools, and institutions of higher education to designate multi-occupancy restrooms, locker rooms, and shower rooms exclusively for male or female biological sex. The measure prohibits co-educational or gender-neutral multi-occupancy facilities and bans mixed-sex overnight student accommodations during school trips. Non-compliance results in the revocation or withholding of state funding.

Why it matters

Public entities, school districts, and colleges statewide face the loss of state funding unless they reconfigure signage, enforce sex-segregated facility rules, and prohibit mixed-gender overnight student lodging.

Background
  • House Bill 2075 was introduced during the 2026 Regular Session of the Missouri 103rd General Assembly by Representative Brandon Phelps. context
