(SPRINGFIELD, Ill.) — State lawmakers Tuesday passed a bill that ensures all single occupancy restrooms are gender neutral.
The measure is sponsored by State Rep. Sam Yingling (D – Round Lake Beach).
“This bill denotes that a single occupancy bathroom should have a sign that says “restroom” on it. There are no opponents,” Yingling told lawmakers.
The measure easily passed in both chambers and now heads to the governor’s desk. Similar laws have been passed in a handful of other states. If sighned into law, it would take effect in January.
