Los Angeles County supervisors voted Tuesday to require county facilities to provide single-occupant, all-gender bathrooms.
The policy requires that the bathrooms be included in all newly constructed, renovated or leased L.A. County buildings.
It expands on a motion adopted in 2016 that required all existing single-occupant restrooms in county buildings to be labeled as all-gender restrooms.
A state law passed that year required all single-occupant bathrooms in businesses, public places or government buildings to be labeled as all-gender.
