Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires certain buildings to include at least one single-occupant
restroom with a “universal changing station,” which the bill defines as a
floor-mounted or wall-mounted, powered, and height adjustable adult changing
table with a safety rail that can be used for personal hygiene purposes by an
individual with a disability of either sex and the individual's care provider. The bill
specifies other requirements that a universal changing station must satisfy,
including requirements regarding size, maneuverability space, weight load,
adjustability, and signage.
