  • The new rules allow for the firing of staff and faculty who misuse restrooms, as well as verbal and written warnings and suspensions without pay for a first offense. After a second offense, employees must be terminated.
  • The law is part of a broader effort criticized by LGBTQ advocates as an attempt to erase LGBTQ individuals from Florida schools and society.
