MONTGOMERY — Alabama lawmakers advanced legislation Tuesday that would bar transgender students from using school bathrooms and locker rooms that correspond to their current gender identity.
The Senate Governmental Affairs approved the House-passed bill with little debate. The legislation now moves to the full Alabama Senate where it could receive final approval in the final three days of the legislative session.
The bill would mandate K-12 schools require students to use multiperson restrooms and locker rooms that match the sex on their original birth certificate.

It says whatever your original birth certificate states as your gender, that is the bathroom you use in K-12 schools,” Stadthagen told the committee on Tuesday.
