H.194 is a bill introduced in the Vermont General Assembly that mandates the inclusion of high-capacity, gender-neutral restrooms in any nonemergency school construction project that receives State aid. The bill amends Section 3448 of Title 16 of the Vermont Statutes Annotated, which outlines the approval and funding process for school construction projects. Specifically, it adds a new requirement that projects must include the creation of a high-capacity, all-gender restroom with fully enclosed stalls, in addition to existing criteria for project approval.

The bill also makes a minor deletion, removing the conjunction "and" from the list of conditions that must be met for project approval. Furthermore, it establishes an effective date for the new requirements, stating that the act will take effect on July 1, 2025. This legislation aims to enhance inclusivity and accessibility in school facilities across Vermont.
