Public Restroom Baby Diaper Changing Station

Beginning on July 1, 2027, the bill requires a building with an indoor restroom that is open to the public, including to customers or public visitors, and that does not include private offices or workspaces that are generally not open to customers or public visitors (restroom accessible to the public) to have safe, sanitary, and convenient baby diaper changing tables (baby diaper changing station) as follows:

• At least one baby diaper changing station in each gender-specific restroom on each floor;

• At least one baby diaper changing station in a non-gendered single-stall restroom on each floor; or

• At least one baby diaper changing station in a non-gendered multi-stall restroom on each floor.

The owner or manager of a building with a restroom accessible to the public is required to ensure that each baby diaper changing station is cleaned with the same frequency as the restroom in which it is located and maintained, repaired, and replaced as necessary to ensure safety and ease of use.

      Beginning on July 1, 2027, for each restroom accessible to the public with a baby diaper changing station, the owner or manager of a building is required to display:

• A pictogram, void of gender, at or near the restroom accessible to the public that indicates the presence of a baby diaper changing station; and

• Signage, at or near the entrance to the building, indicating the location of each restroom accessible to the public and each baby diaper changing station in the building.

Providing a baby diaper changing station in a restroom accessible to the public and providing the corresponding signage is not required if

a local building permitting entity or building inspector determines that the installation of a baby diaper changing station in a restroom accessible to the public would result in a failure to comply with applicable building standards governing the right of access for individuals with disabilities or if the building is a certified historic structure.
