2012 Florida Accessibility Code for Building Construction Pocket Guide

Advisory 202.3.1 Prohibited Reduction in Access. Department of Justice regulations 28 CFR 35.133 for public entities (Title II) and 28 CFR 36.211 for private entities (Title III) clarify that reduction of accessibility is benchmarked to the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design as adopted by this code. Those regulations state: “If the 2010 Standards reduce the technical requirements or the number of required accessible elements below the number required by the 1991 Standards, the technical requirements or the number of accessible elements in a facility subject to this part may be reduced in accordance with the requirements of the 2010 Standards.”
