Requires installation of diaper changing station in certain public restrooms; appropriates $500,000.
This bill requires public venues like stores, restaurants, libraries, and schools to install baby diaper changing stations in at least one men’s and one women’s public restroom (or a unisex family restroom) during new construction or substantial renovations costing over $5,000. Public buildings, including K-12 schools (which need only one station per campus), must add stations within 37 months of the bill’s enactment. The state appropriates $500,000 from the general fund to reimburse local governments or school districts for installation costs. Owners who fail to comply face penalties up to $500 per violation.
