From the article:
“... Last month, North Carolina became the first state to enact a measure requiring people to use bathrooms or locker rooms in schools and other public facilities that match the gender on their birth certificate rather than their gender identity...”

Truth:

South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard faces a deadline Tuesday to act on a bill passed by the state legislature that would require students to use bathrooms or locker rooms for the gender that corresponds with their “chromosomes and anatomy” at birth.

In addition to South Dakota, “bathroom law” fights have been launched in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin.

The statement in the article is slightly misleading but accurate if read with the proper understanding of the semantics used. "Public facilities" in this case means "government owned" such as city, state, or local government offices and agencies. The law requires all government owned facilities to have restrooms based on biological gender. It also prohibits local governments from enacting any "non-discrimination" ordinance that would compel businesses, schools, or churches to allow biologically MALE individuals to use female restrooms, showers, locker rooms, or vice versa. The law does not impose any restrictions or requirements on companies or other organizations; if PayPal wanted to allow men to use the ladies room in its proposed facility that would have been perfectly permissible under the law.
