Baby Changing on Board Act
This bill requires Amtrak to install baby changing stations in every ADA-compliant restroom on covered passenger trains (those owned and operated by Amtrak and purchased after the bill's enactment). It mandates that each ADA-compliant restroom must have a designated changing surface that supports children up to 30 pounds, clearly marked with signage. The law applies specifically to Amtrak trains acquired after the bill becomes law, excluding trains Amtrak operates but does not own. This is a concrete equipment requirement with no additional funding or enforcement mechanisms specified in the text.
