California New Bathroom Law

The state of California has a new law [Assembly Bill No. 1732] requiring changes to the State's bathroom policy.

Beginning March 1, 2017, the State require all single-user toilet facilities in any business establishment, place of public accommodation, or government agency to be identified as all-gender toilet facilities.

All single-user toilet facilities in any business establishment, place of public accommodation, or state or local government agency shall be identified as all-gender toilet facilities by signage that complies with Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, and designated for use by no more than one occupant at a time or for family or assisted use.
“Single-user toilet facility” means a toilet facility with no more than one water closet and one urinal with a locking mechanism controlled by the user.

The new law will be enforced by inspectors, building officials, or other local officials responsible for code enforcement.  They are authorized to inspect for compliance with these provisions during any inspection.
