Requires installation of diaper changing station in certain public restrooms.*

New Jersey's S 2183 requires owners of certain public buildings - including schools, government facilities, and commercial spaces like malls - to install baby diaper changing stations in at least one public restroom per gender (or in a family restroom) during new construction or substantial renovations costing over $5,000. The law applies to "group A or M occupancies" (defined as public-facing commercial or assembly spaces) and mandates signage directing visitors to these stations. Violations carry $500 penalties per offense, while public entities like school districts may seek reimbursement for installation costs through a new $500,000 state fund. The bill does not apply retroactively to existing restrooms but sets a timeline for compliance in public buildings.
