Restroom Access Act of 2025

The "Restroom Access Act of 2025" aims to ensure individuals with specific medical conditions can access employee restroom facilities in retail establishments when public restrooms are unavailable. This access is granted under strict conditions, including the customer possessing an identification card verifying an eligible medical condition and the presence of at least two employees on duty. Eligible medical conditions encompass inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn's and ulcerative colitis, the use of an ostomy device , or other diagnosed conditions, including pregnancy , that necessitate immediate restroom access. The bill directs the Secretary of Labor to establish a system within 180 days to create and distribute these identification cards, which must be certified by a medical professional. This legislation seeks to provide necessary accommodations for individuals facing urgent restroom needs due to health circumstances.
