Restroom Access Act of 2025

HR 3299, the Restroom Access Act of 2025, requires retail establishments to allow customers with specific medical conditions to use their private restrooms under defined conditions. It directly affects customers with eligible medical conditions (such as inflammatory bowel disease, ostomy use, or pregnancy) who cannot access public restrooms. The bill mandates that stores permit restroom use if the customer presents a Labor Department-issued ID card, two employees are present, the restroom isn't in a high-risk area, and no public restroom is available. The Secretary of Labor must establish the ID card system within 180 days of the bill's enactment. This creates a concrete policy change for retail restroom access for individuals with qualifying medical needs.
