The Facility Requirements Based on Sex Act, also known as Committee Substitute for House Bill 1521 (CS/HB 1521), is a 2023 Florida anti-trans bathroom bill which mandates that individuals must use restrooms, locker rooms, and changing facilities that correspond to their sex assigned at birth in some public, private and state-licensed facilities. As of 2026, Florida was one of 21 states to have restrictions against transgender people using bathrooms or facilities consistent with their gender identity in some form. The law has generated significant controversy and legal challenges.
