HB 40 New Mexico House · 2025 Regular Session

UNIVERSAL ADULT CHANGING STATIONS

HB 40, titled the "Traveling with Dignity Act," requires all state-funded facilities serving 2,500+ annual visitors - including public buildings and large commercial venues like theaters or convention centers - to install at least one gender-neutral, accessible universal adult changing station in single-occupancy restrooms. Covered facilities must comply by July 1, 2032, with earlier deadlines for renovations costing over $50,000 or new constructions receiving state funding. The bill defines these stations as height-adjustable, adult-sized changing tables available to all genders. Currently pending after being postponed indefinitely on June 3, 2025, the law aims to improve accessibility for people with disabilities or caregiving needs during public outings.
