Bill > S02665

This bill amends the public buildings law to require gender neutral bathrooms in state-owned buildings. Specifically, the bill defines a "multiple-occupancy bathroom" as a room containing at least one sink and two or more sanitary fixtures like toilets or urinals. If a single-occupancy bathroom cannot be designated as gender neutral in a state-owned building, the bill mandates that a multiple-occupancy bathroom must instead be designated as gender neutral. Additionally, the bill requires that state-owned and state-leased buildings provide clear and adequate notice about the location of these gender neutral bathrooms, ensuring that all persons can easily find and access them. The legislation will go into effect 90 days after it becomes law, providing state buildings time to implement the new bathroom designation requirements.
