AB-783 Business licenses: single-user restrooms.(2023-2024)



As Amends the Law Today


SECTION 1.

 Section 16000.2 is added to the Business and Professions Code, to read:

16000.2.
 A city, county, or city and county that issues business licenses, equivalent instruments, or permits within its jurisdiction shall provide written notice of the requirements of Section 118600 of the Health and Safety Code to each applicant for a new or renewed business license, equivalent instrument, or permit.
SEC. 2.
 No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because a local agency or school district has the authority to levy service charges, fees, or assessments sufficient to pay for the program or level of service mandated by this act, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the Government Code.
SEC. 3.
 The Legislature finds and declares that access to gender-neutral single-user restrooms is a matter of safety and inclusiveness to all and thus is a matter of statewide concern and is not a municipal affair as that term is used in Section 5 of Article XI of the California Constitution. Therefore, Section 1 of this act adding Section 16000.2 to the Business and Professions Code applies to all cities, counties, and cities and counties, including charter cities, counties, and cities and counties.
