New York City businesses could soon need to convert some of the restrooms to gender-neutral facilities.
Comptroller Scott Stringer has introduced new legislation that would require all single-occupancy, publicly available restrooms to be designed as gender-neutral. The law mostly mandates businesses to change the signage on single-occupancy restrooms. It does not affect multi-stall lavatories.
Proposed Law Would Require Gender-Neutral Restrooms In NYC
Stringer’s office wants to make forwards steps tackling the issue of transgenders facing bias and harassment in public restrooms.
It’s said NYC is following the footsteps of Philadelphia, West Hollywood and the District of Columbia.
