Requires certain accessible public restroom facilities be equipped with signs reserving use for persons with disabilities.
This bill requires businesses and public accommodations (like stores, restaurants, and government buildings) to display clear signs reserving specific accessible restrooms for people with disabilities. For multiple-user restrooms, at least one accessible compartment must have a sign (with at least one other non-reserved compartment available), and for single-user accessible restrooms, a sign must be displayed (with at least two other restrooms available for general use). New construction and renovations must include these signs to receive building permits, and existing facilities may be inspected for compliance. Violations result in a 30-day correction period, followed by a $150 fine for the first offense and $300 for repeat violations on the same property.
