House Committee Clears Accessible Bathroom Bill

On September 14, the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee approved, by voice vote, H.R. 5147, the Bathrooms Accessible in Every Situation (BABIES) Act, as amended, sponsored by Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI).

The bill would require that female and male restrooms in public buildings be equipped with baby changing stations that the General Services Administration determines are “physically safe, sanitary, and appropriate.”
