42 U.S.C. § 12150 — Interim accessibility requirements
submitted 36 years ago by Pub. L. 101-336 to r/title-42-THE-PUBLIC-HEALTH-AND-WELFARE · 184 words · no verdicts yet
Before final accessibility regulations are issued, projects that get a valid building permit and finish on time can satisfy accessibility rules by following the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards in place when permitted. Once the Access Board's supplemental guidelines have existed a year without final regulations, projects must follow those supplemental guidelines instead.
If final regulations under section 12149 have not yet been issued, then for new construction or alterations that get a valid state* or local building permit before those final regulations issue — and where construction or alteration under that permit starts within one year of getting the permit and finishes under the permit's terms — following the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards in effect when the permit was issued is enough to satisfy the accessibility requirement in sections 12146 and 12147. However, if final regulations still have not been issued one year after the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board issues the supplemental minimum guidelines required under section 12204(a), then following those supplemental guidelines becomes necessary to satisfy the accessibility requirement, until the final regulations are issued.
If final regulations have not been issued pursuant to section 12149 of this title, for new construction or alterations for which a valid and appropriate State* or local building permit is obtained prior to the issuance of final regulations under such section, and for which the construction or alteration authorized by such permit begins within one year of the receipt of such permit and is completed under the terms of such permit, compliance with the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards in effect at the time the building permit is issued shall suffice to satisfy the requirement that facilities be readily accessible to and usable by persons with disabilities as required under sections 12146 and 12147 of this title, except that, if such final regulations have not been issued one year after the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board has issued the supplemental minimum guidelines required under section 12204(a) of this title, compliance with such supplemental minimum guidelines shall be necessary to satisfy the requirement that facilities be readily accessible to and usable by persons with disabilities prior to issuance of the final regulations.
