9/21/2021	Clark County Board of Commissioners	Approved; Agenda note: DISCUSSION: Following introduction of the item, the Board was addressed by Jim Garren, Assistant Director for the Clark County Department of Building and Fire Prevention, who advised that the legislature passed Assembly Bill (AB) 280, applied to publicly available new construction restrooms, was effective October 1, 2021, and was not retroactive; the proposed ordinance will be heard on October 5, 2021, addressed single use restrooms in new construction; officially notified all industry members and associations through e-mail, a notice published in the Las Vegas Review Journal, and on the County Building Departments website on July 20, 2021; and requests for clarification were received from The Southern Nevada Homebuilders Association, PCNA Consulting Group, and The Nevada Resort Association. In response to Commissioner Gibson, Jim Garren advised that AB 280 was not retroactive but, when a restroom was encompassed within the scope of work for a major remodel, the restroom would need to be redesigned to meet current code requirements; and that changing restroom signage to be general neutral was the main objective of AB 280.
