LifeSiteNews reports: The first bill, HB 121, prohibits men from entering women’s spaces like changing rooms, sleeping quarters, and restrooms. It also requires public schools, correctional facilities, public buildings, and domestic violence shelters to safeguard women’s safety and privacy.
The second bill, HB 300, strengthens protections for female athletes of all ages, ensuring they are not forced to share intimate spaces with males or compete against males on their sports teams.
“Montana is right to protect the privacy, safety, and dignity of women and girls, and to ensure that female athletes of all ages continue to have a fair and level playing field,” said ADF Senior Counsel Matt Sharp, director of the ADF Center for Public Policy.
“Letting men intrude into women’s spaces and on their sports teams is an invasion of privacy, a threat to their safety, and a denial of the real biological differences between the sexes. ADF commends Rep. Kerri Seekins-Crowe, Sen. John Fuller, Sen. Sue Vinton, Speaker Brandon Ler, and Senate President Matt Regier for their leadership in passing these critical bills. We also thank the Independent Women’s Voice and the Montana Family Foundation for their work in this effort. By signing this legislation into law, Gov. Gianforte is protecting Montanans for generations to come.”
