Restroom Access Act
Illinois · Public Health · §§ 410-39-1 to 410-39-99 · 6 sections
Overview
The Restroom Access Act governs when a retail establishment must allow a customer to use a restroom that is otherwise reserved for employees, requiring access for customers with a qualifying medical need when no public restroom is available and specified conditions are met. It pairs that duty with a liability shield, so an establishment and its employees are not exposed to civil claims merely for granting the access the act requires. The act also defines the terms that set its scope and makes noncompliance a violation carrying a penalty.
