An act relating to infant changing stations in restrooms in public buildings and places of public accommodation
S 16 requires that at least one restroom in every public building and place of public accommodation (like libraries, government offices, or retail stores) must have an infant changing station. The station must be accessible to any person, regardless of gender, to change an infant's diaper. The law defines "available" to mean the restroom is usable by all, and the Commissioner of Public Safety will enforce compliance during routine inspections. The requirement takes effect on July 1, 2025.
