Bill > SR215

This resolution requests the Department of Accounting and General Services (DAGS), Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR), and the City and County of Honolulu Department of Parks and Recreation to provide universal changing accommodations in all state facilities, state parks, and city and county parks. The resolution highlights the challenges faced by people with disabilities, keiki (children), kupuna (elderly), and their caregivers who often struggle to find suitable restroom facilities that accommodate their needs. Specifically, it calls for height-adjustable changing tables in at least one women's and men's restroom, as well as in family or gender-neutral restrooms where available. The resolution emphasizes the importance of providing safe, sanitary, private, and dignified spaces for individuals who require toileting assistance, acknowledging that the lack of such facilities can limit participation in public activities. The resolution aims to promote equity and inclusivity by ensuring that all people have equal opportunities to access and enjoy public spaces.
