Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Equitable Restrooms Act. Provides that the owner or operator of each State-owned building and the owner or operator of each public building (rather than only the owner or operator of each State-owned building) shall (1) ensure that one or more of the public restrooms is designated as an adult changing station, with certain requirements, (2) maintain, repair, and replace each adult changing table as necessary, (3) clean each adult changing station with the same frequency as the other public restrooms, and (4) provide sufficient floor space to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Provides that the owner or operator of each State-owned building and the owner or operator of each public building (rather than only the owner or operator of each State-owned building) shall ensure that the entrance to each restroom has conspicuous signage and that the central directory for the building, if it exists, indicates the location. Provides that any public building or State-owned building that is constructed on or after January 1, 2029, and any public building or State-owned building with an estimated renovation cost of at least $10,000 that requires the issuance of a building permit for the renovation and that is renovated on or after January 1, 2031, must contain and provide access to not less than one powered, height adjustable, adult changing table, installed per the manufacturer's recommendations, in a single occupancy restroom that is universal to gender and available to the public. Adds and changes definitions.
House Committee Amendment No. 1
Deletes a requirement that any public building or State-owned building with an estimated renovation cost of at least $10,000 that requires the issuance of a building permit for the renovation and that is renovated on or after January 1, 2031 must contain and provide access to an adult changing table.
House Floor Amendment No. 4
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill with the following changes. Changes the definition of "adult changing station" by adding references to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Changes the definition of "public building" by adding a requirement that the building be constructed on or after January 1, 2029, allowing the owner or operator of one building or structure located in a place of recreation to designate that building or structure as a public building, and specifying that places of education must be designed to educate 1,500 students or more, excluding school athletic stadiums. Changes the definition of "State-owned building" by adding specified State park facilities. Provides that the owner or operator of each public building built after January 1, 2029 shall have specified duties (rather than the owner of operator of each public building shall have specified duties), including, among other things, installing a minimum of one adult changing station, maintaining and repairing adult changing tables, cleaning adult changing stations with the same frequency as other public restrooms, and providing sufficient floor space around the adult changing table to comply with applicable Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility standards. Makes changes to signage requirements, including providing that, except for places of education, the entrance to each restroom must have conspicuous signage indicating the location of adult changing stations and that, for places of education, only the restroom that contains an adult changing station must have such signage. Deletes provisions in the introduced bill requiring that newly constructed or substantially renovated buildings contain and provide access to at least one powered, height-adjustable adult changing table in a single-occupancy restroom. Makes conforming and other changes.
