AI Summary
This bill requires the Tennessee Department of Transportation to install signs or markers at rest areas and welcome centers that have an adult-sized changing table, which is defined as a powered, height-adjustable platform in a single-occupancy family restroom, to inform motorists of this amenity. These signs will be installed as existing signage is replaced or modified and must comply with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and state guidelines. Additionally, the department will publish a list of rest areas and welcome centers with adult-sized changing tables on its website, and may consult with the Department of Tourist Development on the signage. This initiative aims to improve accessibility for individuals who require such facilities while traveling.
