Delaware's Potty Liability Bill

More evidence that tort reform is an issue created by lobbyists, from the state of Delaware: Legislators in "the First State" have introduced a bill requiring stores to let people with an "eligible medical condition" (i.e., "I need to whiz!") use a private or employee bathroom if the store doesn't have one open to the public. Seems like a reasonable proposal, and one any pregnant woman will appreciate. Of course, the retailers won't agree to it unless they are protected from any lawsuits that might result should a customer accidentally get killed or injured while doing their business in the private loo. So the bill immunizes them from any potty-related injury lawsuits.

I'd love to know how much the local retailers paid their lobbyist to get this provision inserted in the bill. I mean, really, how often are people killed or injured in the private bathrooms of their local supermarket? I'm sure the lobbyists must have had at least one horror story to convince them that the mere threat of just one such potentially ruinous lawsuit was worth his many thousands of dollars in fees..
