H4756 requires public schools and colleges to designate multi-person restrooms, changing rooms, and sleeping quarters for use only by members of one sex. The bill defines sex based on a person's biological sex at birth, and requires schools to provide reasonable accommodations, such as single-occupancy facilities, for students who do not want to use the facilities assigned to their sex. Schools that violate the act may face penalties, and students may sue if the law is violated.
The South Carolina State Senate passed H4756 on March 26, 2026 by a vote of 33 to 2. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because individuals have a right—which government has a duty to protect—to shield themselves and their children from obscene, indecent, or profane activity. These rights are retained under the 9th and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. The Left is promoting radical, Marxist ideas, including the notion that people can choose any gender or pronouns and identify as transgender. Scientifically and biblically, there are two genders, and society should not conform to the radical Left's woke culture.
