The 147th General Assembly passed a bill to allow access to private restrooms for persons suffering from Crohn’s, colitis or similar conditions. That Act provided that persons with such conditions must provide written documentation, such as “an identification card that is issued by a nationally-recognized health organization or a state agency,” as proof of their condition when requesting use of a private facility. This bill follows up on that legislation by directing the Division of Public Health to develop such a standard identification card that may be used by affected persons in Delaware upon obtaining a signature from a licensed physician. It also permits the Division to include a disclaimer, in its discretion, that the Division plays no role in authenticating the physician’s signature.

An Act To Amend Title 16 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Access To Private Restrooms.
