Six transgender residents of Idaho filed a class-action lawsuit last week in an Idaho federal district court challenging recently enacted HB 752, an Idaho law that prohibits "knowingly and willfully enter[ing] a restroom or changing room in a government-owned building or a place of public accommodation ... that is designated for use by the opposite biological sex of such person...." The statute includes exceptions to the ban for various emergency, health-related and similar situations. A violation is punishable by up to one year in prison. A second violation within five years is punishable by up to five years in prison. The complaint (full text) in Jackson-Edney v. Labrador, (D ID, filed 4/29/2026), alleges that the law is void for vagueness and violates the Equal Protection Clause by discriminating on the basis of sex and transgender status. It also contends that it violates plaintiffs' right to informational privacy by compelling disclosure of a person's transgender status.
ACLU issued a press release announcing the filing of the lawsuit.
