Amend the bill, as and if amended, SECTION 2, by striking Section 59-23-540(A) and inserting:

 (A) Multioccupancy public school or public institution of higher learning restrooms and changing facilities must be designated for use only by members of one sex at a time, on either a permanent basis or temporary or event-based basis. Any public school or public institution of higher learning restrooms and changing facilities that are designated for one sex must be used only by members of that sex. Any restroom or changing facility designated for one sex on a temporary or event-based basis, must be used only by members of that sex during the period of such designation. No person may enter a restroom or changing facility that is designated for one sex unless he or she is a member of that sex; and the public school or public institution of higher learning shall take reasonable steps to ensure that all restrooms and changing facilities provide its users with privacy from members of the opposite sex. All restrooms and changing facilities must have a changing table installed equipped to change an infant or toddler. The provisions in this item do not apply:
  (1) to custodial or maintenance work when the restroom or changing facility is not being used or otherwise occupied by a member of the opposite sex;
  (2) to provide coaching or athletic training during athletic events by coaching staff in changing rooms when no individual is in a state of undress;
  (3) to a person or people rendering medical assistance; and
