The U.S. Department of Justice publishes revised regulations for Titles II and III of the Americans with Disabilities Act. These regulations adopt revised, enforceable accessibility standards called the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design, which set minimum requirements—both scoping and technical—for newly designed and constructed or altered state and local government facilities, public accommodations and commercial facilities to be readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities.
