Chapter 6.0000 - NEW CONSTRUCTION AND ALTERATIONS
Regulatory references: 28 CFR 35.151.
II-6.1000 General.
All facilities designed, constructed, or altered by, on behalf of, or
for the use of a public entity must be readily accessible and usable by
individuals with disabilities, if the construction or alteration is begun
after January 26, 1992.
What is "readily accessible and usable?" This means that the facility
must be designed, constructed, or altered in strict compliance with a design
standard. The regulation gives a choice of two standards that may be used
(see II-6.2000).
