A Hint from the Access Board regarding ADA/ABA
The Access Board held an audio presentation today regarding sidewalks and intersections, and during the call someone asked if there was any word on a date for adoption of the new ADA-ABA guidelines (ADAAG-R).
One of the presenters commented that talk around the water cooler in DC has the Department of Justice targeting July 26th (the anniversary of the ADA) to issue a notice adopting the new guidelines. Of course, this is unofficial and pure speculation, but its speculation from individuals fairly close to the situation.
If this indeed happens, these new standards may become enforceable before the end of the year.
I will let you know as more information is released.
