Pennsylvania HB456 mandates restroom access for customers with specific medical conditions in retail establishments.

Pennsylvania HB456, known as the Restroom Access Act, requires retail establishments with employee toilet facilities to allow customers to use them if certain conditions are met. This includes situations where the customer uses an ostomy device or suffers from conditions like Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, and there is no health or safety risk. The customer must provide evidence of their condition. The act imposes a civil penalty of up to $500 for violations and takes effect immediately.
