S 2662 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires certain accessible public restroom facilities be equipped with signs reserving use for persons with disabilities.

This bill requires businesses and public accommodations with accessible restrooms to display clear signs reserving specific stalls or single-user restrooms exclusively for people with disabilities. It applies to multiple-user restrooms (with at least one non-accessible stall available) and single-user accessible restrooms (with at least two other restrooms available). Construction permits for new or renovated buildings must include these signs, and existing facilities may be inspected; violations trigger a 30-day correction period followed by $150-$300 fines for non-compliance. The law aims to prevent non-disabled individuals from occupying accessible facilities, ensuring they remain available for those who need them.
