## Summary

**Requires health centers that receive federal section 330 grants to equip restrooms with safe, sanitary baby changing tables.** The condition ties grant eligibility to written assurances, includes ADA accommodations, lists narrow exceptions, and phases compliance by facility status. - Families and caregivers: Parents and caregivers get dedicated, sanitary baby changing surfaces during visits. New or substantially renovated centers must meet the rule right away and other centers have up to five years to comply. - Health centers and operators: Grantees must provide assurances and may use grant funds to acquire and install baby changing tables and signage. The law allows exceptions for restrooms not open to the public, where an alternative on the same floor exists, or where new construction is infeasible, and the Secretary can grant waivers or extensions. - Grant program funding: Grant funds may be used for installation costs to meet the requirement. *Authorizes up to $5.0 million in supplemental appropriations to assist health centers with compliance, subject to future appropriations.*
