(c) "Covered restroom facility" means a restroom located on the premises of a covered establishment that is intended for use by customers or employees of the establishment and that is located in an area where providing access would not create an obvious health or safety risk to a covered driver and would not pose an obvious security risk to the covered establishment. II.
