Requires the commissioner of education to establish uniform statewide protocols for diapering and toileting students in public schools

This bill directs the state education commissioner to create uniform guidelines for diapering and toileting students in public schools. The new rules would require schools to provide safe, accessible facilities and necessary supplies to maintain a sanitary environment for these activities. The legislation applies to a wide range of institutions, including public school districts, special education schools, and private schools serving students with disabilities. The changes are set to take effect eighteen months after the bill becomes law, allowing time for schools to prepare.
