Please join the California Division of the State Architect (DSA) and the California Department of Rehabilitation (DOR) on September 1, 2016, for a teleconference meeting in which DSA will share information and seek input regarding potential amendments to the accessibility provisions of the California Building Standards codes. DSA and DOR will highlight key aspects of the development, adoption and implementation of construction-related accessibility standards, including the following:

• DSA’s role as both the developer of accessibility codes and the enforcement agency for public schools, community colleges and other state owned buildings.

• DSA’s consultation with DOR, the California Association of Counties, the League of California Cities and organizations comprised of and representing disabled individuals during the development of accessibility code proposals.

• A brief presentation on the code adoption process, along with timelines for current and future building code adoption cycles.

• DSA’s collaboration with DOR and the California Commission on Disability Access on educational outreach to business owners, building officials, architects, engineers, contractors, disabled individuals and the general public.

DSA will then present topics for possible consideration during the current code adoption cycle. The balance of the call will be open to participants for their comments, feedback and suggestions on both the presented topics and additional building code topics and issues.

For more information on DSA and the accessibility codes, visit DSA’s Accessibility web page for highlights and resources.

The service will be active 10 minutes prior to the event start time. Please plan to log into the call 10 minutes early.
