Requires certain accessible public restroom facilities be equipped with signs reserving use for persons with disabilities.
This New Jersey bill (S 3649) requires certain public restrooms to display signs reserving accessible stalls exclusively for people with disabilities. It applies to businesses and public venues with multiple-user restrooms (requiring one accessible stall with signs and at least one other stall available) or single-user accessible restrooms (requiring signs if at least two other restrooms exist). The bill mandates that construction permits for new or renovated buildings must include compliant signage, and existing facilities may be inspected for adherence. Violations trigger a 30-day correction period, followed by $150 penalties for first offenses and $300 for repeat violations on the same property.
