Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, no governmental agency, as defined in R.S. 42:1102, shall prohibit distinctions between the sexes with respect to athletics, correctional facilities, juvenile detention facilities, domestic violence shelters, or other accommodation where biology, safety, or privacy are implicated and that result in separate accommodations that are substantially related to the important government interest of protecting the health, safety, and privacy of individuals in such circumstances. Nothing in this Part shall prohibit a domestic violence shelter, public school, correctional facility, or juvenile detention facility from:
(1) Establishing single-occupancy restrooms, changing rooms, or sleeping quarters that are not designated by sex.
(2) Redesignating a multi-occupancy restroom or sleeping quarters for the exclusive use of another group authorized under this Part as needed.
