Sec. 5.
Legislative finding.
The General Assembly
finds that an inequitable situation occurs due to delays which women face
in the use of restroom facilities when men are rarely required to wait for
the same purpose. Rectifying this inequitable situation is a matter of serious
public concern. This Act shall be liberally construed toward that end.
