Bill > SB1680

This bill requires the State Preservation Board to install and maintain adult changing stations in the Texas State Capitol, ensuring accessibility for individuals who may need assistance with personal care. Specifically, the board must provide at least one adult changing station in a public restroom or changing facility within the Capitol, with each station featuring a private space and an adjustable height table. The board is also mandated to clearly post signs indicating the location of these changing stations, making them easy to find for those who need them. The legislation is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, and requires the board to establish these facilities as soon as practicable after the effective date. This bill addresses the need for inclusive facilities that can accommodate individuals with disabilities, medical conditions, or caregivers who require a clean, private space for changing.
