Thanks to NSPF for this update- DOJ extends compliance date for pools & spas

ADA Compliance Extended 60 Days

Summary of ADA Compliance Delay

On March 15, 2012, Attorney General Eric Holder signed a rule extending the date of compliance which relates to the provision of accessible entry and exit for public pools.  This gives a 60 day extension to the compliance date.  It allows additional time to address misunderstandings regarding compliance.

Summary of Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)

On March 15, 2012, Attorney General Eric Holder opened a public comment period for a NPRM.  The rule would extend the compliance date for compliance to 180 days after March 15.  It allows additional time to address misunderstandings regarding compliance and promotes clear and consistent application of the ADA's requirements to existing facilities.
