REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF ACCOUNTING AND GENERAL SERVICES, DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES, AND THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION TO PROVIDE UNIVERSAL CHANGING ACCOMMODATIONS IN ALL STATE FACILITIES, STATE PARKS, AND CITY AND COUNTY PARKS.

This concurrent resolution requests Hawaii's Department of Accounting and General Services, Department of Land and Natural Resources, and Honolulu Parks Department to install universal changing accommodations in all state facilities, state parks, and city parks. It specifically asks for height-adjustable changing tables in at least one restroom for women, one for men, and one family/gender-neutral restroom per facility, to support people with disabilities, their caregivers, children (keiki), and elders (kupuna). The resolution aims to provide safe, private, and dignified changing spaces during public outings, addressing current challenges where individuals may avoid public spaces or use unsafe alternatives. As a request - not a binding law - it directs these agencies to implement the accommodations without mandating legal changes. The resolution directly affects people with disabilities and their caregivers who face barriers accessing standard restrooms during park visits or public activities.
