The California Assembly has voted to approve A.B. 1732, which would require all single-occupancy restrooms in any business, public accommodation, or government agency to be branded as “all gender” and ban any single-user bathroom from being designated male- or female-only. The bill also authorizes building inspectors or other local officials responsible for code enforcement to inspect for compliance with this measure.  The bill now heads to a California Senate committee for consideration and would go into effect in March 2017 if ultimately approved.
