“All Gender” Bathroom Bill to Take Effect March 1, 2017

Beginning on March 1, 2017 all business establishments, places of public accommodation, and government agencies with single-user toilet facilities must identify them as “all-gender” as opposed to the traditional “men” and “women.” The law does not affect multiple-stall restrooms and will not change existing laws with respect to the number of, specifications for, or other facility requirements for restrooms that a business or entity must comply with under the existing California building codes or current local ordinances.
