Florida Bill Would Require Restrooms to Have Toilet Paper at All Times...

That's what Senator Victor Crist thinks, and he's got a bill to make it happen.

The measure has several requirements for keeping restaurant men's and women's rooms clean and mandates that every stall have toilet paper at all times, although it doesn't spell out how much. The bill also requires that each stall have a door that actually closes.

Senator Crist, a Republican from Tampa, says restaurant inspectors "should also check the restrooms along with the kitchens to make sure that basic cleanliness necessities are in place."

The bill (SB 386) was approved yesterday by the Senate Regulated Industries Committee. It has two more Senate committee stops to go, and if it doesn't get wiped out by one of them, it could then go to the floor. A similar measure (HB 437) is awaiting a committee hearing in the House.

I wish it were code to have all restroom doors open outward to exit.

Nothing like having to move a filthy handle and pull some damn heavy door open with your freshly washed hands.

Cripes, the Dept. of Health has signs posted in all restaurants warning about the spread of disease by not washing your hands. Yet you get to grab a petri-dish of whatever is growing on everyone's ass by using the door handle to exit.

Common sense in design, get some!

however many studies show that washing your hands in a public restroom is actually up to 70% more dirty for your own personal hygiene becuase of things like opening doors, turning on or off faucets, pushing hte lever for paper towel and pushing the thing for soap. this cleary does not apply for all automatic and outward opening doors
