(THE NEW YORK POST) – Major retailers in California are just weeks away from having to create gender-neutral toy sections for children — or risk being fined hundreds of dollars under a controversial state law set to take effect in the new year.
Under the terms of the legislation Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law in 2021, California-based department stores with 500 or more employees that sell “childcare items or toys,” must have a gender-neutral section “regardless of whether they have been traditionally marketed for either girls or for boys.”
It defines “childcare items” as any product designed to facilitate sleep, feeding children, relaxation, or “to help children with sucking or teething” and defines children as those 12 and under.
Any department store that fails to create a gender-neutral section could face a $250 fine for the first violation, and a $500 fine for any subsequent violations.
