AI Summary
This bill requires public entities, when constructing or fully renovating restrooms in public buildings, to install changing stations capable of serving babies, older children, and adults in all restrooms and family rooms, and these stations must comply with specific building code standards. The location of these changing stations must be posted on the public entity's website. Exemptions may be granted if installation is not feasible, would violate Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards, or would harm historic properties, or if the building is not frequented by the public. The bill also establishes a civil penalty of $1,000 per quarter for non-compliance, with collected penalties going into a new "developmental disabilities grant fund" to support caregivers and individuals with disabilities. The bill defines "public building" as one funded by public money and clarifies that "public entity" includes state and local governments but excludes public schools and buildings operated by universities, community colleges, or career technical education districts.
