Bill Summary · HB 1130

Legislative bill overview

HB 1130 requires public restrooms in Colorado to install baby diaper changing stations in facilities that serve the general public. The bill establishes standards for which restrooms must include these stations and sets implementation timelines for compliance.

Why is this important

Access to changing facilities affects parents' and caregivers' ability to use public spaces safely and with dignity. The lack of changing stations—particularly in men's restrooms—creates practical barriers for single fathers, male caregivers, and parents traveling with infants, while also addressing basic public health and sanitation needs.

Potential points of contention

  • Cost burden on businesses: Small businesses and public facilities may face significant installation costs, raising questions about who bears the financial responsibility and whether exemptions should apply
  • Scope and specificity: Unclear which facility types are covered (restaurants, retail, offices, transit stations) and whether standards are practical or overly prescriptive
  • Equity in restroom access: Debates over whether stations should be required in all restrooms (men's, women's, all-gender) and implications for transgender and non-binary individuals' facility use
