   NEW PARAGRAPH.  e.  Permitting coaching staff and personnel from accessing locker rooms before, during, or after athletic events or practices.
EXPLANATION
The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with
the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly.
   Current law prohibits a person from entering a multiple occupancy restroom or changing area that does not correspond with the person’s sex, with some exceptions. This bill creates a new exception and permits coaching staff and personnel to access locker rooms designated for the opposite sex before, during, or after athletic events or practices.
