MODERATE

The bill was amended to expand its applicability from newly constructed or renovated facilities to all covered facilities, regardless of when they were built. The compliance deadline was extended from 2034 to 2036, and new exemptions were added for projects under $20,000 or those with historic significance. Additionally, the requirement for state buildings now includes a minimum occupancy threshold of 2,500 people.

Scope change

The bill's scope was significantly broadened to apply to all existing covered facilities, not just those renovated after 2027, and state building requirements now depend on occupancy size.

REQUIREMENT

The requirement to install adult changing tables was expanded to apply to all covered facilities, rather than only those newly constructed or renovated after January 1, 2027.

The requirement for state-owned buildings was modified to only apply to buildings regularly open to the public with a maximum occupancy of at least 2,500 people.

TIMELINE

The deadline for existing facilities to comply with the new requirements was extended from January 1, 2034, to January 1, 2036.

ELIGIBILITY

New exemptions were added allowing the commissioner to waive requirements if the project cost is under $20,000, if installation is not feasible, if it violates ADA standards, or if it destroys historic significance.

SCOPE

New sponsors were added to the bill, including Manktelow, Zinerman, Cook, Hevesi, Hyndman, and Simon.
