The Idaho legislature passed a bill Friday that would criminalize transgender individuals' use of bathrooms that do not correspond to their sex assigned at birth.

The legislation makes it a misdemeanor offense punishable by up to one year in prison for transgender people to use gender-designated bathrooms in certain facilities that align with their gender identity rather than their biological sex at birth.

The bill applies to bathrooms in private businesses and other designated facilities, expanding beyond typical public accommodation laws. According to reports, the measure represents some of the strictest bathroom legislation targeting transgender individuals at the state level.

The legislation passed the Idaho legislature on Friday, though specific vote tallies were not immediately available in the initial reports. The bill now awaits action from the governor's office.

The measure adds to a growing number of state-level legislative efforts across the United States that seek to regulate bathroom access for transgender individuals. Idaho's version appears to go further than similar laws in other states by including criminal penalties and extending coverage to private business facilities.
