Governor Brown Signs AB 1732, Requiring Single User Restrooms to be Available to Both Genders


By Jeffrey S. Sloan

Earlier today, Governor Brown signed AB 1732 which prohibits businesses from labeling a single-user restroom as either “male” or “female.”  Instead, as a result of this new law which takes effect on March 1, 2017, if a business has a single-user restroom it must make that restroom available to all genders.

This new law will impact many smaller employers in California because smaller companies often have single-user restrooms.
