An Act providing for access to baby-changing stations
This bill amends Massachusetts law to require that all new or significantly renovated public buildings include safe and accessible baby-changing stations in their restrooms. The requirement applies to facilities open to the public, ensuring these stations are available regardless of the gender of the restroom. By adding this provision to existing building codes, the legislation mandates physical infrastructure changes rather than creating new administrative rules.
