https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/watch/76641c9c-397d-45f7-a04e-0dc2b987cdaf Sponsored by State Senator Graciela Guzman (D-Chicago) and State Representative Theresa Mah (D-Chicago), SB 3465 requires restroom and sanitary accommodations on Illinois construction sites, including provisions related to gender confusion. During House debate, State Representatives Dan Ugaste (R-St. Charles) and Brad Halbrook (R-Shelbyville) questioned Rep. Mah about the definitions and practical application of the legislation. She was unable to give clear answers regarding definitions and application. Key provisions include: • Requiring separate toilet facilities on construction sites when women or individuals who menstruate are present and there are at least 10 workers on site. • Mandating that employers provide sanitary products and accommodations for workers who menstruate. • Requiring reasonable accommodations for lactating workers to express breast milk, including access to private and sanitary spaces. • Allowing workers to report suspected violations to local public health agencies without fear of retaliation. • Expanding penalties and enforcement authority for noncompliance. • Directing the Illinois Department of Public Health to issue guidance to employers by January 1, 2027.
