HB 1130 (2022)

Require access to employee bathrooms for customers with some medical conditions

Summary:

Requires retail establishments to allow an individual with eligible medical conditions to use employee toilet facilities if the individual has a signed document from a health care provider, an identification card from a national association, or other reasonable evidence of a qualifying medical condition. Eligible medical conditions include "Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, any other inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel disease syndrome, or any other medical condition that requires the use of an ostomy device or immediate access to a toilet facility."

The Senate amended the bill to also allow people to be married to complete the marriage application in the presence of a justice of the peace rather than the city or town clerk. A conference committee of representatives and senators revised this part of the bill to instead say, "If either party is unable to appear in person for medical reasons, the city or town clerk shall accommodate the parties by meeting in person with the parties at such other location within the city or town as may be convenient."
