AI Summary

The bill also clarifies that a "public building" refers to any structure used for a public purpose by the state or its political subdivisions, as defined by section 15J.2. Furthermore, it allows any individual to report suspected violations of this requirement to the Attorney General, who can then take legal action, such as seeking an injunction, to ensure compliance.
