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.
