An Act amending the act of November 10, 1999 (P.L.491, No.45), known as the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act, in Uniform Construction Code, providing for changing stations in public buildings or facilities.
SB 854 requires owners or managers of certain public buildings (like stadiums, airports, or large shopping centers), State-owned buildings, and health care facilities to install and maintain at least one accessible adult changing station. These stations must include a height-adjustable table meeting specific size and weight capacity standards (25x72 inches, 400-pound capacity) and be accessible to all genders. The requirement applies to new construction or major renovations (costing $20,000+) starting four years after the law's effective date, with immediate implementation for new buildings. The bill defines "public buildings" as those serving 1,500+ people daily (e.g., convention centers, movie theaters over 40,000 sq ft) and "health care facilities" as hospitals, nursing homes, or hospices.
