Oklahoma House adopted a chamber rule restricting a women's restroom to people 'born as a biological female'
On January 7, 2025, the Oklahoma House of Representatives adopted its chamber rules for the 2025-26 legislature (HR1002), including a provision restricting a women's restroom near the House floor to "a person born as a biological female." Sponsor Rep. Molly Jenkins described the rule as precautionary against transgender women using the restroom, echoing Congress's recent restriction on transgender women using certain U.S. Capitol restrooms. A violation can result in censure, including the loss of a member's voting rights on legislation.
