§ 24-30-1312 — Accessibility signage for facilities

Instead of the international
symbol of accessibility icon of a character in a wheelchair, any required
accessibility signage in a facility must depict an accessible icon with a more
dynamic character who leans forward in the wheelchair and who shows a sense of
movement. This requirement applies to the construction, acquisition, or substantial
renovation, as defined in section 24-30-1305.5 (8)(c), of any facility that contains
five thousand or more gross square feet, undertaken on and after the date the state
architect obtains approval from the United States department of justice that, on a
statewide basis, the accessible icon provides equal or greater access to persons
with disabilities and is thus an equivalent facilitation under the federal Americans
with Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. sec. 12101 et seq., as amended. The state
architect shall, with assistance from the Colorado advisory council for persons with
disabilities created in section 26-24-103, seek this approval no later than January 1,
2021.
