 Michael Harrington, SRN News. Ohio lawmakers are advancing on a ban on males using female restrooms and locker rooms. A late-night state House vote to approve the measure took place just before legislators left Columbus for the summer. The state Senate will vote on it in the fall. The bill pertains to public K-12 schools and institutions of higher education. It would not apply to school employees, emergencies, or people helping young children with those with disabilities.
