Bill > H3317

This bill amends Chapter 142 of the General Laws to require the Uniform State Plumbing Code to include regulations that permit gender-neutral toilet and bathing facilities across all use groups defined in the state building code. Specifically, the bill allows for the designation or installation of gender-neutral facilities that contain multiple toilets, urinals, or showers, which are separated by privacy walls or partitions and have separate or grouped handwashing fixtures. These provisions would apply to both new construction and existing buildings undergoing repair, renovation, or alteration. The goal of the bill is to provide more inclusive bathroom facilities that can be used by individuals regardless of gender, ensuring that people have access to restroom facilities that offer privacy and comfort for all users.
