From gender-neutral, multiple-occupancy public bathrooms to compensation for child video stars, Gov. Pritzker signs more than 40 bills into law
A sign for a gender-neutral restroom at the Conrad Hilton Hotel in Chicago during the National LGBTQ Task Force held at the downtown hotel in 2016.
The measure amends the state’s Equitable Restroom Act of 2019, which mandated all single-occupancy public restrooms to be available to all genders. The new law takes effect immediately.The bill passed by a 35-20 vote in the Senate this spring over strong opposition from Republicans. State Sen. Neil Anderson of Andalusia proclaimed that he’d likely lose it if his 10-year-old daughter ever wound up sharing a public bathroom with a man.
