AI Summary
This bill, known as the Restroom Access Act, requires retail establishments that have employee restrooms to allow customers with certain medical conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease or the use of an ostomy device, to use those facilities if a public restroom is not readily available. The bill imposes a civil penalty of up to $500 for retail establishments that violate these provisions, which can be enforced by the local magisterial district judge.
