The Florida legislature is busy with bills relating to guns and metal recyclers, but one proposal is sure to please travelers and residents who can’t wait. Florida bottoms will be greeted by cleaner restrooms in public food establishments because SB 386 has been unanimously and probably enthusiastically approved by the Committee on Regulated Industries.
Among other things, the bill provides for inspections and it requires that the route to the bathroom not take a patron through food prep areas, that hand soap and paper towels be available, and [drum roll, please] toilet paper be placed in each and every stall. Let us now sing Halleluiah for that last, but it should be a controlled song of praise. The new bill won’t apply to airport bathrooms. Those have been the stuff of my nightmares at times, though not here in Jax. I can honestly say the bathrooms at Jacksonville International Airport are fit for a celebrity. Or something like that.
I'd say SB 386 is a good bill for a tourism state. And a good one for this traveler as well. You shoulda' seen a bathroom I encountered near Richmond, VA. I still have nightmares about it.
