Plain-language change summary

The bill has been amended to include new provisions under the Equitable Restrooms Act that require all single-occupancy restrooms in public places to be designated as all-gender. This change applies to both existing and future restrooms, ensuring that anyone can use these facilities regardless of gender identity.
