IL House narrowly passes bill allowing all-gender bathrooms twill
The bill passed on a vote of 60-40, the bare minimum number of"yes" votes needed for passage in the 118-member House, after the presiding officer held the roll open for several seconds waiting for the 60th vote to be recorded.
The bill sets out standards that all-gender bathrooms would have to meet, such as"inclusive signage" that does not indicate any specific gender; stall dividers with functioning locks controlled by the user; and partitions for each urinal, if urinals are present. The bill passed out of the House Human Services Committee on Feb. 22 on a 6-3 vote after only brief discussion. But just a few days later, Stuart said she was forced to cancel a planned constituent coffee event in Collinsville,"due to violent threats and malicious information being spread by special interest groups about bathroom privacy and safety legislation."
