The bill amends chapter 701 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri by adding a new section, 701.455, which mandates the installation of diaper changing stations in public restrooms. It defines key terms such as "diaper changing station," "political subdivision," "public building," "public restroom," and "restroom." According to the new provisions, any private business established on or after August 28, 2026, must equip its public restrooms with a diaper changing station. Additionally, starting January 1, 2028, all public restrooms within public buildings are required to have these facilities. Furthermore, the bill stipulates that if a public restroom is designated for a specific gender, there must be another restroom equipped with a diaper changing station available for the opposite gender within the same building. This legislation aims to enhance accessibility and convenience for caregivers of young children in public spaces.
