The "Traveling with Dignity Act" mandates that all facilities receiving state funding in New Mexico must install universal adult changing stations. This legislation defines key terms such as "covered facility," which includes public buildings and commercial places of public amusement that receive state funding and attract at least 2,500 visitors annually. By July 1, 2032, each covered facility is required to have at least one universally accessible adult changing station available to the public.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that any covered facility undergoing renovations costing over $50,000 after July 1, 2025, must also install a universal adult changing station. Furthermore, any newly constructed facility that receives state funding must include at least one of these changing stations as part of its design. This act aims to enhance accessibility for individuals who require adult changing facilities, promoting dignity and inclusivity in public spaces.
