Some businesses will be required to outfit their restrooms with adult changing tables under legislation that received final approval Tuesday from the Jacksonville City Council.
Council voted 17-0 for Ordinance 2023-0780, which establishes that changing tables must be installed in businesses that provide six or more toilets. The ordinance applies only to new construction or significant renovations.
