California bill would open all single-stall restrooms to anyone – LGBTQ Nation

All single-person bathrooms in California would become gender-neutral under legislation proposed in the state Legislature.

Assemblyman Phil Ting, a San Francisco Democrat, says his bill would make bathroom access more convenient and fair for everyone.

“What we really want to do is have bathrooms be what they’re supposed to be about, which is convenience, but also have them be about fairness and safety,” Ting said Friday.

AB1732 would help transgender people, parents with children of different genders, and adults caring for aging parents without putting much of a burden on businesses, Ting said. The bill would not affect restrooms that have multiple stalls.
