Not sure the free access card is available any longer. I do not have time to search now.

I knew this law existed, but have not gotten a card stating it. I planned on my recent trip to beg and plead if I was in a bind.

Yes. I have one of these cards. http://www.myibd.org/index.html
Massachusetts joins 12 other states (Illinois, Minnesota, Texas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Colorado, Ohio, Michigan, Washington, Oregon, Wisconsin, and Connecticut) with similar laws. Legislation to enact Ally’s Law is pending in other states. The Foundation for Clinical Research in IBD is a proud supporter of the legislation. The Foundation for Clinical Research in IBD provides Restroom Access Cards free of charge to IBD patients. IBD patients can report incidents where they have been denied access to a restroom facility by e-mailing info@myibd.org.
