‘Sec. 1.  5 MRSA §4594-G, sub-§12  is enacted to read:
 
12.  Single-occupancy toilet facilities; qualifying new construction.    Beginning January 1, 2020, new construction of a public building, as defined in subsection 6, must include single-occupancy toilet facilities that meet the standards of construction required by this section. This subsection applies to new construction for which the maximum occupant capacity exceeds 100 individuals.’

SUMMARY
This amendment strikes the bill and instead provides that after January 1, 2020, new construction of public buildings must include single-occupancy toilet facilities that meet the accessibility requirements established in the Maine Human Rights Act, if the new construction has a maximum occupant capacity exceeding 100 individuals. For example, after January 1, 2020, a restaurant that seats at least 101 individuals is subject to the single-occupancy toilet facilities requirement.
