HCS HB 1738 -- ACCESSIBLE PARKING (Grisamore)

COMMITTEE OF ORIGIN:  Special Committee on Disability Services

This substitute changes the laws regarding accessible parking.
The substitute specifies that when any political subdivision or
owner of private property restripes a parking lot or constructs a
new parking lot with 25 or more parking spaces, the lot and
accessible signs must meet the minimum requirements of the
federal Americans with Disabilities Act for the number of
required accessible parking spaces but not less than one must be
served by an access aisle that is a minimum of 96 inches wide and
designated "van accessible."  If any accessible space is 132
inches wide or wider, the adjacent access aisle must be a minimum
of 60 inches wide.  If any accessible space is less than 132
inches wide, the adjacent aisle must be a minimum of 96 inches
wide.  Currently, any parking lot that is restriped or
constructed must have one in every four accessible spaces served
by an access aisle that is a minimum of 96 inches wide and
designated "lift van accessible only."

The substitute contains an emergency clause

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2013, FY 2014, and
FY 2015.
