III−9.8000 Certification and barrier removal in existing facilities. The Department will measure equivalency against subpart D of the title III rule, New Construction and Alterations. The Department will not require that provisions concerning barrier removal in existing facilities be included in a code in order for it to be certified.

Will the Department certify a code that includes provisions similar to those in the Department's title III rule concerning removal of barriers in existing facilities (e.g. , on priorities, portable ramps, seating in assembly areas)? The Department generally will not review these parts of a code.
