Senate Bill No. 319, identified as File No. 259, is a legislative proposal to establish a task force to study the need for adult changing stations in public facilities. An adult changing station is defined as an enclosed, private area within a public restroom that contains a table, which may be height adjustable and is equipped with a safety rail, designed for use by adults with physical disabilities who require assistance with personal hygiene.

The task force will consist of various appointed members, including those with expertise in the needs of adults with physical disabilities, public accommodations law, and representatives from the General Assembly. The task force is required to submit a report on its findings and recommendations by January 1, 2025, to the joint standing committee of the General Assembly that oversees matters related to human services. The report should include a survey of other states with adult changing stations, an assessment of whether and where such stations are mandated, and potential funding sources for installing such stations. The task force will terminate upon submission of the report or on January 1, 2025, whichever is later. The bill specifies that there is no anticipated fiscal impact to the state or municipalities for establishing this task force.
