The proposed bill amends Chapter 37-8 of the General Laws, titled "Public Buildings," by introducing a new section that mandates the installation of universal changing stations in public buildings. Specifically, it requires that any public building that is newly constructed, reconstructed, or remodeled on or after January 1, 2027, must install and maintain at least one universal changing station. The Department of Administration is tasked with adopting regulations by January 1, 2026, which will outline specific requirements for these stations, including conspicuous signage, compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, and features such as a height-adjustable changing table and adequate space for assistance.

Additionally, the bill allows for exemptions from these requirements under certain conditions, such as if the installation is deemed infeasible, would violate accessibility standards, or if the cost of remodeling without the changing station does not exceed $10,000. The definition of a "universal changing station" is also provided, clarifying that it is an enclosed facility accessible to individuals of any age and gender who need assistance with diapering. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
