Assembly Bill Would Open State Retailers' Restrooms

I have read all the post, it is sad that we even need to consider having to have the government step in, but IBD can be a humiliting disease, and I would bet most of us suffers carry wipes and toliet paper with us, and are considerate of others and don't leave messes. We want to use clean restrooms too, the thing there are times when we can't predict that we are going to have to go, and it really hurts. The government wouldn't have to be involved if retailers would bend alittle. It's usually obivious that we are in pain, I look like someone poured a bucket of water over my head and turn really pale, I'm in so much pain. I have put down whatever I was going to buy and not gone back into a store due to them not letting me use the bathroom. I appriciate some one putting trying to put this into law, and wish it was a law in every state. It is a disablity, it's just not one you can always see.
