Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Equitable Restrooms Act. Provides that, notwithstanding any other provision of law, any multiple-occupancy restroom may be identified as an all-gender multiple-occupancy restroom and designated for use by any person of any gender. Requires that an all-gender multiple-occupancy restroom must include specified signage, stall dividers, and partitions for urinals. Provides that any multiple-occupancy restroom may be converted into an all-gender multiple-occupancy restroom. Provides that if a facility commences construction, or commences alterations exceeding 50% of the facility, and implements an all-gender multiple-occupancy restroom, the all-gender multiple-occupancy restroom must satisfy or include specified requirements. Requires certain newly constructed or previously existing restrooms to be designated as all-gender multiple-occupancy restrooms. Provides that, when a person or entity must meet female-to-male ratio requirements, each individual toilet stall in an all-gender multiple-occupancy restroom may be counted toward the required number of either female or male toilet stalls. Provides that during any inspection of a facility by a health officer, health inspector, or building inspector, the health officer, health inspector, or building inspector may inspect the facility to determine whether it complies with the provisions. Requires the Department of Public Health to adopt rules to implement the provisions. Defines "multiple-occupancy restroom". Makes other changes. Effective immediately.

House Floor Amendment No. 1
Makes changes in the definition of "multiple-occupancy restroom". Removes language requiring that inclusive signage must not indicate any specific ability. Provides that specified all-gender multiple-occupancy restrooms must satisfy all accessibility requirements set forth by the Illinois Accessibility Code. Provides that when plumbing fixtures in a facility (rather than a person or entity) are required to meet female-to-male ratio requirements, each individual fixture (rather than toilet stall) in an all-gender multiple-occupancy restroom may be counted toward the required number of either female or male fixtures until the minimum requirement is met. Provides that if a fixture is counted towards the minimum required fixtures for females, that same fixture shall not also be counted towards the minimum required fixtures for males, and if a fixture is counted towards the minimum required fixtures for males, that same fixture shall not also be counted towards the minimum required fixtures for females. Makes other changes.
