2010 Standards for State
and Local Government
Facilities: Title II
State and local government facilities must follow the requirements
of the 2010 Standards, including both the Title II regulations at
28 CFR 35.151; and the 2004 ADAAG at 36 CFR part 1191,
appendices B and D.
In the few places where requirements between the two differ, the
requirements of 28 CFR 35.151 prevail.
Compliance Date for Title II
If the start date for construction is on or after March 15, 2012, all
newly constructed or altered State and local government facili-
ties must comply with the 2010 Standards. Before that date, the
1991 Standards (without the elevator exemption), the UFAS, or
the 2010 Standards may be used for projects when the start of
construction commences on or after September 15, 2010.
