http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2015/04/23/trans-people-could-face-4000-fine-for-using-the-wrong-toilet/A new law proposed in California could see transgender people faced with a $4,000 fine for using public toilets.
A ballot initiative filed by right-wing activists in the state, titled the Personal Privacy Protect Act, proposes that a person shall use facilities in accordance with their biological sex in all [state] government buildings.
If they fail to comply, then every single person in the toilet whose privacy was actually violated by a transgender person entering, would be able to sue them for no less than $4,000″.
If the law is approved by voters in the state, it would apply to any public toilets, dressing rooms and showers in public usage, including public schools and universities.

But this would never pass in the general.

Why are reichwingers so obsessed with rest rooms?

It's things like this that makes me think the initiative process should be shit canned.
