IL HB3374

Capital Development Board must update the 1997 Illinois Accessibility Code based on the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design, with completion required by January 1, 2017.

Updated accessibility standards must establish minimum design, construction, and alteration requirements for public facilities to accommodate environmentally limited persons.

Multi-story housing accessibility standards must include requirements for common area access and creation of adaptable dwelling units.

Capital Development Board shall issue written interpretations of accessibility standards within 30 calendar days of request by certified mail, though interpretations are project-specific and not binding precedent.

Future updates to ADA Standards must be incorporated into Illinois Accessibility Code within 2 years of federal updates.
