Summary
Amends the Equitable Restrooms Act.

Provides that the owner or operator of each State-owned building and the owner or operator of each public building (rather than only the owner or operator of each State-owned building) shall ensure that the entrance to each restroom has conspicuous signage and that the central directory for the building, if it exists, indicates the location. Provides that any public building or State-owned building that is constructed on or after January 1, 2029, and any public building or State-owned building with an estimated renovation cost of at least $10,000 that requires the issuance of a building permit for the renovation and that is renovated on or after January 1, 2031, must contain and provide access to not less than one powered, height adjustable, adult changing table, installed per the manufacturer's recommendations, in a single occupancy restroom that is universal to gender and available to the public.

MINOR
The bill was finalized for enactment with minor formatting corrections to the definitions of 'public building' and 'State-owned building'. The substantive policy requirements for installing adult changing stations in public buildings remain unchanged, though the text now more clearly lists specific facility types like hospitals and airports.
Scope change
The scope of the bill remains the same, applying to public buildings constructed on or after January 1, 2029, and State-owned buildings.
DEFINITION
The definition of 'public building' was reorganized to list specific facility types (such as airports, hospitals, and schools) as separate numbered items rather than grouping them within a single long sentence, improving readability without changing the law's meaning.
The definition of 'State-owned building' was updated to include a State park visitor center and a rest stop located on an interstate highway.
TECHNICAL
Minor text adjustments were made to ensure consistency in how the requirements apply to buildings within places of education and recreation.
