Judge restricts Idaho transgender bathroom rules
A federal judge in Idaho has temporarily blocked the enforcement of a new state law criminalizing transgender individuals’ use of bathrooms that do not match their sex assigned at birth. The law, which was set to take effect July 1, imposes up to five years in prison for violations in public restrooms, but the judge issued an injunction on certain provisions, allowing transgender people to use single-stall or same-floor multi-stall bathrooms. The lawsuit argues the law violates constitutional rights to due process and privacy, with the judge citing concerns over vague law enforcement provisions, and stating existing criminal laws can address safety concerns without infringing on rights.
