A new Idaho law is creating big questions for employers ahead of its July 2026 effective date. In this episode of Ground Rules, attorneys Pam Howland, Jennifer Walrath, and Idaho legislator Megan Egbert break down Idaho’s new “Bathroom Bill” (HB 752) and discuss what businesses should be thinking about now.
The conversation covers:

- Which employers and businesses may be considered “places of public accommodation”
- Single-stall vs. multi-stall restroom considerations
- Potential policy, signage, and workplace protocol updates
- Questions surrounding enforcement and law enforcement involvement
- How this law may intersect with Title VII and employment discrimination concerns
- Practical scenarios employers should start thinking through before July
Whether you operate a public-facing business, manage employees, or oversee HR and compliance, this episode explores some of the real-world workplace questions employers may soon face under one of the strictest bathroom laws in the country.
