S 2206 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires installation of diaper changing station in certain public restrooms.

New Jersey's S 2206 requires businesses and public buildings (like retail stores, schools, and government facilities) to install baby diaper changing stations in at least one men's and one women's public restroom per floor during new construction or substantial renovations costing over $5,000. Public buildings must add stations in all accessible restrooms within 37 months of the bill’s enactment, though K-12 schools only need one station per campus. Owners must also post clear signage directing visitors to these stations and face a $500 penalty per violation for non-compliance. The bill establishes a reimbursement program to help cover installation costs for eligible entities like schools and municipalities.
