Idaho's legislature has sent House Bill 752 to Governor Brad Little, making it the first state to broadly criminalize transgender people's use of bathrooms in private businesses, with penalties escalating from a misdemeanor carrying up to one year in jail to a felony carrying up to five years in prison. The bill, which passed the House 54-15 and cleared the Senate on March 27, 2026, has drawn opposition from Idaho law enforcement groups, civil liberties organizations, and transgender residents, while supporters argue it protects privacy and safety in sex-separated spaces.
