Detailed Explanation

California Assembly Bill 1732, signed into law in 2016 and effective March 1, 2017, requires all single-user toilet facilities in businesses, government buildings, and places of public accommodation to be identified as all-gender. The law applies regardless of what the restroom was previously designated. Facilities must have signage identifying the restroom as all-gender, which can include text like "All-Gender," "Gender Neutral," or universal symbols indicating use by all genders.
