IllinoisPublic buildings must provide adult changing stations
Operators of State-owned and covered public buildings must provide adult changing stations and keep them safe, clean, and accessible when buildings are open.
What it does
Operators of State-owned buildings and covered public buildings must provide at least one adult changing station and keep it safe, clean, and accessible while the building is open to the public.
Operators must post signs showing where stations are. At places of education, signs are needed only at the restroom that has a station; a directory must show locations if the building has one.
A qualifying station needs an accessible toilet facility, a powered adjustable table with safety rails and a belt, and required supplies and signs. The table must support at least 400 pounds and meet stated height and size measurements.
Argument forSigns could help people who need adult changing tables find them in public buildings, including places of education.
Argument againstKeeping tables safe, clean, and accessible could add repair and cleaning work for operators of covered buildings.
More detail
Owners and operators must install and care for at least one adult changing station. This applies to State-owned buildings and covered public buildings. Covered public buildings include listed facilities such as airports, bus stations, hospitals, and rehabilitation facilities. The station must be accessible to the public whenever the building is open. Operators must keep the table safe and easy to use, clean the station as often as other public restrooms, and provide enough floor space for accessible use. The installation rule covers public buildings built after January 1, 2029. The definition of a public building refers to buildings constructed on or after that date.
Owners and operators must post signs showing where adult changing stations are located. This applies to State-owned buildings and covered public buildings. At places of education, signs are required only at the entrance to the restroom that contains a station. A central directory must show station locations if the building has one.
A facility must meet accessibility, equipment, and table-safety requirements to count as an adult changing station under this section. These requirements define which facilities count as adult changing stations under this section. The facility may be an accessible toilet facility or a private, enclosed family or assisted-use toilet facility. It must include a changing table for people of any age, a toilet, a sink, supplies, signs, and at least 36 inches of maneuvering clearance. The powered, height-adjustable table must have safety rails and a belt, support at least 400 pounds, lower to 17 inches or less, rise to at least 38 inches, and measure at least 30 inches wide by 72 inches long.
