Requires certain buildings display domestic violence signs in their bathrooms
This bill requires hotels, motels, public restrooms, service areas, and public buildings in New York to display specific domestic violence resource signs in bathrooms. The signs, developed by the state's domestic violence prevention office, must include contact information for support services and be displayed in English, Spanish, and additional languages as determined by the office. They must be placed visibly in public restrooms (e.g., on the bottom right of mirrors or on restroom doors) and in lactation rooms, with enforcement through complaint mechanisms and routine inspections during mandated building checks. The law aims to ensure easy access to domestic violence resources for individuals in these facilities.
