Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) signed a bill on Tuesday that will bar transgender people from using bathrooms that align with their gender identity.

The law, titled Sex-Based Designations for Privacy, Anti-Bullying and Womens Opportunities , defines male and female by a persons genitals rather than gender identity and requires that transgender people use bathrooms that correspond with the gender they were assigned at birth, with exceptions only for those who can prove that they have received gender-affirming surgery or that their gender identity aligns with the sex on their birth certificate.

It applies to bathrooms, shower rooms and locker rooms in public schools from kindergarten though 12th grade but only to showers and locker rooms in state universities and other government-owned buildings. Violations could result in loitering charges, and government-owned institutions could also be fined up to $10,000 per violation per day.

We want public facilities that are safe and accommodating for everyone and this bill increases privacy protections for all, Cox said Tuesday in a statement .

The initial version of the bill, House Bill 257, barred transgender people from using bathrooms that align with their gender identity at any state facility that receives public funding, which was later revised by the state Senate to apply the prohibitions only to public schools and government-owned facilities, NBC News reported .

The bill passed the Senate on Friday before being sent to Coxs desk to sign.
