S 136 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires installation of grab bars in certain public restrooms.

This bill requires public buildings to install grab bars in specific toilet stalls during new construction or substantial renovations (costing $5,000+). It mandates minimum grab bar coverage based on stall counts: 2 stalls for 3-4 stalls total, 3 for 5-9, 6 for 10-15, and one-third for 16+ stalls. All grab bar-equipped stalls must display the International Symbol of Access, and the requirement applies only to new restrooms or renovations meeting the cost threshold. The law takes effect immediately upon passage.
