1 | | respect to areas within public facilities or multi-story
|
2 | | housing units which areas are restricted to use by the |
3 | | employees of
businesses or concerns occupying such restricted |
4 | | areas, the Capital
Development Board shall promulgate |
5 | | standards designed to ensure that such
areas will be accessible |
6 | | to those environmentally limited persons who can
reasonably be |
7 | | expected to perform the duties of a job therein.
|
8 | | The standards shall be adopted and revised in accordance
|
9 | | with The Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. Beginning on |
10 | | the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 98th General |
11 | | Assembly, the Capital Development Board shall begin the process |
12 | | of updating the 1997 Illinois Accessibility Code and shall |
13 | | model the updates on the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible |
14 | | Design. By no later than January 1, 2016, the Capital |
15 | | Development Board shall adopt and
publish the updated Illinois |
16 | | Accessibility Code. The updated Illinois Accessibility Code |
17 | | may be more stringent than the 2010 ADA Standards for |
18 | | Accessible Design and may identify specific standards. |
19 | | Beginning on January 1, 2016, if the ADA Standards for |
20 | | Accessible Design are updated, then the Capital Development |
21 | | Board shall update its accessibility standards, in keeping with |
22 | | the ADA Standards for Accessible Design, within 2 years after |
23 | | the ADA Standards for Accessible Design updates and shall adopt |
24 | | and publish an updated Illinois Accessibility Code.
|

standards adopted under Section 4 of this |
