AI Summary

Requires Amtrak-owned passenger trains purchased after the law takes effect to include baby changing tables in the restrooms of every car. Each train car must have at least one baby changing table (including ADA-compliant restrooms) and signage must clearly identify which restrooms have changing tables.

The rule applies to covered passenger rail trains acquired after enactment, defines key terms (ADA-compliant restroom, baby changing table, covered passenger rail train), and focuses on installation and clear labeling to make rail travel easier for parents and caregivers.
