The follwoing is via ABC7NY:
New York fathers will now have changing tables in men’s public restrooms.
The new law that goes into effect in 2019 changes the state’s building code to require new and renovated buildings with public bathrooms to provide changing tables in both the women’s and men’s restroom.
The move comes after a photo of a dad changing his child’s diaper on the floor of a restroom went viral.

Silly question: Wasn’t this made federal law about 2 years ago? I seem to recall a bit of fanfare regarding a changing table building code law having its language changed from feminine to gender neutral.
finally… NY govt does something that makes sense.
Definitely in our interests since we have lots of babies, and tattis often have to change their diapers.
