More diaper changing stations in state buildings
The law requires diaper changing stations in any public restroom in a state-owned building that is built or remodeled after the law takes effect. Stations must be safe, sanitary, suitable for children under age 4, and accessible to people with disabilities. If the only station is in a gender-specific restroom, another restroom for other genders must also have a station, or a family or gender-neutral restroom must be provided. The state must meet these requirements by January 1, 2029, or earlier if funding allows. A restroom is exempt if a clear sign points to another restroom with a station, if remodel work is not feasible due to cost (not for new construction), or if installation would conflict with Historic Preservation rules or the Maine Uniform Building and Energy Code. The state may accept outside funds to buy and install stations. The law also provides $15,000 in 2025–26 and $15,000 in 2026–27 to install stations in state buildings.
