Changes to the ADA

The U.S. Department of Justice has put together the revisions to the Americans with Disabilities Act Regulations that will be enacted next year. The revised regulations amend the Department’s Title II regulation, 28 C.F.R. Part 35, and the Title III regulation, 28 C.F.R. Part 36, in addition to its ADA Standards for Accessible Design.

Appendix A to each regulation includes a section-by-section analysis of the rule and responses to public comments on the proposed rule. Appendix B to the Title III regulation discusses major changes in the ADA Standards for Accessible Design and responds to public comments received on the proposed rules.
