All California public schools could soon be required to offer a gender-neutral bathroom on campus, should a state bill introduced by state Sen. Josh Newman pass.

The bill, introduced in February, requires that each school campus that offers kindergarten to 12th grade classes have at least one gender-neutral bathroom available to students during the school day.

All California school districts will have until Jan. 1, 2025, to have a gender-neutral bathroom on the campus should the bill become law.

California law requires that K-12 schools must grant students access to the bathroom that corresponds with their gender identity. But that doesn’t cover nonbinary and other gender-nonconforming students, says Sen. Josh Newman, D-Fullerton. Newman, who chairs the Senate Education Committee, has introduced a bill, SB 760, to require schools to provide students with access to an all-gender bathroom on-campus during school hours.
