South Dakota governor signs anti-transgender bathroom bill

South Dakota Gov. Larry Rhoden signed a bill into law Friday that restricts transgender people's use of communal facilities that align with their gender identity in schools and state buildings. The bill also allows people who encounter transgender people in these facilities to seek civil causes of action against the school or state if it did not try to prevent the transgender person from using the facility. This is the first state law in South Dakota restricting transgender people's bathroom access, which was produced by the overwhelmingly conservative state legislature this session. The law goes into effect on July 1.
