Enact the Restroom Access Act, or Ally's Law

Created by J.C. on December 19, 2012

Enact the Restroom Access Act nationwide. This law would require businesses to allow customers with medically documented illnesses to use bathrooms normally restricted to paying customers or employees.

People with digestive disorders such as IBD, Crones Disease or Ulcerative Colitis; and other medical conditions, shouldn’t be denied access to use a bathroom when they can’t afford to wait or seek alternatives.

I also propose allowing people with these conditions to apply and receive handicap-parking permits. A handicap-parking card will allow people with the disability quicker access to a business to find a bathroom.

Failure to provide this easy access to available bathrooms will discourage many people with these conditions to avoid the particular business, or going out in general.
