Oklahoma Senate Bill 615 is a bathroom bill passed by the U.S. state of Oklahoma that required any "multiple occupancy restroom or changing area" in public schools or public charter schools in Oklahoma to be for the exclusive use of either the male or the female sex, as identified on the individual's original birth certificate.[1][2]
In February 2024, the American Civil Liberties Union issued a statement linking the bill with the death of Nex Benedict, a non-binary teenager who died after being beaten in the toilets at their school.[1]
