Newsom signs law requiring gender-neutral bathrooms in California schools by 2026
Fox News
California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a pro-LGBTQ bill into law that requires all K-12 schools in the state to provide gender-neutral bathrooms by 2026.
"These measures will help protect vulnerable youth, promote acceptance, and create more supportive environments in our schools and communities," Governor Newsom said in a press release. "I thank Senator Eggman and the LGBTQ Caucus for their dedicated leadership and partnership in advancing our state’s values of equality, freedom and acceptance." The series of LGBTQ legislative actions came just a day after Governor Newsom vetoed a bill late Friday that would have required judges in child custody cases to consider whether a parent has affirmed their child's gender identity.

The law also requires the gender-neutral bathroom to meet certain requirements such as "signage identifying the bathroom facility as being open to all genders and is unlocked, unobstructed, and easily accessible by any pupil" and must have a designated staff member who "serve[s] as a point of contact for these purposes and to post a notice regarding these requirements in a prominent and conspicuous location outside at least one all-gender restroom."
