A 4141 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

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

This bill requires certain public restrooms to display signs reserving accessible stalls or entire restrooms exclusively for people with disabilities. It applies to businesses and public venues with multi-user restrooms containing at least one accessible stall (alongside non-accessible options) or single-user accessible restrooms (with at least two other restrooms available). The law mandates signage placement during new construction permit approvals and for renovations to existing buildings, with inspections to verify compliance. Violations result in a 30-day correction period, followed by $150 penalties for first offenses and $300 for repeat violations on the same property.
