Transgender students in Ohio will soon be required to use bathrooms and locker rooms in schools that match their biological sex under a new law. The governor of Ohio, Mike DeWine, signed the bill Wednesday.

The law, which will take effect in 90 days, impacts students in grades K-12 and college students in public and private colleges. It requires students to use the bathrooms and locker rooms that correspond to their biological sex and bans multi-occupancy gender-neutral bathrooms. It also bans transgender students from sharing rooms for overnight school events with students who are not of the same biological sex.
