Washington bill would require diaper changing stations in more restrooms
Many parents share the common experience of having to change a child’s diaper at the back of a car or the corner of a room when there isn’t a changing station available.
Washington lawmakers are looking to increase the availability of diaper changing stations in new or remodeled buildings with House Bill 1562 so that every parent or caretaker, regardless of their gender, has a place to change their child’s diapers.
The state House approved the bill Tuesday on a 67-28 vote.
“I have young kids and certainly there have been many corners on the floor where I have changed my baby when I’ve had to,” said Rep. Victoria Hunt, D-Issaquah, sponsor of the bill.
