Plain Language Summary
# Bill Summary: Adult Changing Room Installation **What the Bill Would Do** HR 7614 would require the Architect of the Capitol (the official responsible for maintaining Capitol buildings) to install adult changing rooms in two locations: the Library of Congress and the Capitol Visitor Center. An adult changing room is an accessible facility designed to accommodate adults who need assistance with personal care tasks. **Who It Affects and Key Details** This bill would primarily benefit adults with disabilities or medical conditions who require changing facilities while visiting these public spaces. Currently, such facilities are not standard in these buildings.
The bill places the responsibility for installation and maintenance on the Architect of the Capitol, a position that already oversees Capitol building maintenance and improvements. **Current Status** As of now, HR 7614 remains in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was introduced by Representative H. Morgan Griffith (R-VA) during the 119th Congress.
