Expanding Access to Public Restrooms Act of 2025

This bill requires the District of Columbia to create a grant fund to support business improvement districts and Main Streets in providing and maintaining public restrooms, and mandates that all new or substantially renovated parks of one acre or more include gender-neutral public restrooms. It directly affects residents and visitors who rely on public restrooms, including people experiencing homelessness, pregnant individuals, those with medical conditions, and young children. The law specifies that restrooms must be free, accessible 7 days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and maintained by the District or contracted providers. It aims to address current scarcity by increasing restroom availability in high-use areas and public parks.
