There are approximately 2 million people in the United States afflicted with Inflammatory Bowel Disease which includes Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. Without going into detail, those of us afflicted with this disease MUST have access to bathroom facilities immediately when the need arises. If we are denied access, accidents can and do happen. All we ask is that businesses, not private homes, provide us with bathroom facilities in an emergency. Is that too much to ask? Have people been denied access to a restroom when they told employees this is indeed an emergency? YES!!! That is why this law is necessary.
