Bill > S997

This bill requires the installation of diaper changing stations in certain public restrooms in New Jersey. Specifically, it mandates that group A (assembly) or M (mercantile) occupancies, such as retail stores and restaurants, must have at least one diaper changing station in a public restroom for men, women, or in a dedicated unisex family restroom when constructing a new restroom or substantially renovating an existing one. The bill also requires that all public buildings, such as government facilities and schools, must have at least one diaper changing station in a public restroom or dedicated unisex family restroom by the 37th month following the bill's enactment. The bill appropriates $500,000 to the Department of Community Affairs to provide grants for reimbursing the costs of these installations.
