In order to prevent humiliating and undignified restroom access debacles for people with verified medical conditions, Connecticut has passed a law guaranteeing their access to otherwise off-limits restrooms in public places. The law went into effect on October 1st.

2 points I really like (though I am no longer in retail)

They must have written documentation
and customer access cannot interfere with security of the retail establishment

Wonder for people who do need it (though the skeptic in me wonders when the first jerk {whom does NOT need it} will try to take advantage)

They probably already have - I see people all the time trying to pass off their dogs as service dogs. Normally I'm the most educated person in regards to them so I know the questions I can legally ask and also what answers are honest and which ones are BS.

The points you pointed out were great additions, sounds like someone there had some common sense!

I can already see this being abused.

People wont read the specifics and demand the potty anyways.

And then be rejected when they don't have written documentation, and will bitch and whine. Won't be any different than how it is now, except the people who need access are more likely to get it.
