New requirements have been put into place to modify the Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA). Businesses
were given until this year to cooperate.
However, most businesses are having trouble adhering to the new
standards.
These new rules require that recreational structures be 100%
accessible. These structures include public
pools, golf courses, and exercise clubs.
Hotel reservation systems must follow the new guidelines as well.
A report in USA states that many hotels and whirlpools are
forced to be shutdown due to not having any lifts. The American Hotel and Lodging Association
stated the ADA rules are unclear. They
wrote a letter to the US Justice Department asking for more time and the
department agreed stating that they would delay the process.
Hotel regulations aren’t the only things getting an update
from the ADA. There have also been new
requirements for service dogs and buildings.
This is the first major update of the ADA since its creation.
