        AN  ACT  to  amend  the  public  buildings law, in relation to requiring

          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section  1. The section heading of section 145 of the public buildings
     2  law, as amended by chapter 14 of the laws of 2020, is amended,  subdivi-
     3  sion  1  is  amended by adding a new paragraph (e), and two new subdivi-
     4  sions 3 and 4 are added to read as follows:
     5    Gender neutral [single-occupancy] bathrooms.
     6    (e) "multiple-occupancy bathroom" means  a  room  or  suite  of  rooms
     7  containing at least one sink and at least two sanitary fixtures, such as
     8  toilets  or  urinals, intended for simultaneous use by two or more occu-
     9  pants.
    10    3. If no single-occupancy bathroom can be designated as gender neutral
    11  in a state-owned building, a multiple-occupancy bathroom shall be desig-
    12  nated as gender neutral instead.
    13    4. Adequate notice shall be provided in every state-owned  and  state-
    14  leased  building  so that all persons can reasonably find bathrooms that
    15  have been designated as gender neutral.
    16    § 2. This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day  after  it  shall
    17  have become a law.
