What This Bill Would Do
Beginning July 1, 2027, and January 1, 2028, owners and managers of buildings with public-accessible indoor restrooms must install, maintain, and sign safe baby diaper changing stations on each floor. The requirement includes specific placements for gender-specific and non-gendered restrooms, along with gender-neutral s and entrance signage directing visitors to the facilities.
Building owners and managers face new installation, cleaning, repair, and signage costs, while parents and caregivers gain guaranteed access to sanitary diaper-changing facilities across public spaces.
