Requires certain buildings display domestic violence signs in their bathrooms
Bill A 5372 requires hotels, motels, public restrooms, and public buildings in New York to display domestic violence awareness signage in restrooms and guest areas. The signage must provide information about domestic violence services in English, Spanish, and other languages determined by the state office, placed visibly on restroom mirrors or doors. Entities must comply with placement rules, and the office can enforce this during building inspections or after receiving complaints. Non-compliant entities must correct violations or provide proof of error, with the state supplying signage if needed.
