Pass the Restroom Acces Act (Ally's Law) in the UK

Closed 161 signatures

What the petition asks

The Restroom Access Act is an act that requires retail establishments that have toilet facilities for their employees to also allow customers to use the facilities only if the customer suffers from an inflammatory bowel disease or other medical condition requiring immediate access to a toilet.
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) can cause the sudden and sometimes painful urge to have a bowel movement — and this urge doesn’t always happen when a public restroom is available. This act means that people with IBD or other similar conditions will have to deal with far less discomfort and embarrassing moments due to not having urgent access to a restroom. A legislation already passed by many US states and has already proven to be a huge success.
