Retail stores with more than 500 employees could soon be required by law to display clothing for girls mixed with clothing for boys, and toys and other items traditionally aimed at boys to be displayed with items for girls.

The change is the stated goal of Assembly Bill 2826 introduced last week by democratic Assemblymember Evan Low of Silicon Valley who says it would “help children express themselves freely and without bias”.

If the bill becomes law, any retailer which fails to comply will face a $1,000 civil penalty assessed by the attorney general’s office.

That’s if a retailer does not correct a violation within a 30 day period.

AB 2826 could be heard in committee later in March, and if it passes, retailers who don’t comply could start getting fined January 1st, 2023.
