According to a report from Politico, California may introduce gender-neutral sections at department stores under a new bill.
The inclusive bill was introduced by Assemblyman Evan Low on 18 February 2021. Retailers with a staff of 500 or more employees – like Target and Walmart – will be required to follow this new law. “This bill would require a retail department store with 500 or more employees that sells childcare items, children’s clothing, or toys, to maintain undivided areas of its sales floor where the majority of those items being offered are displayed, regardless of whether an item has traditionally been marketed for either girls or for boys,” the proposal reads.
