to the 2010 Americans with Disabilities Act standards for accessible design as
contained in title 28, Code of Federal Regulations, parts 35 and 36 [28 CFR 35

2. A state agency or the governing body of a political subdivision shall require from any
individual preparing plans and specifications for a building or facility subject to the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 [Pub. L. 101-336; 104 Stat. 327], a statement
that the plans and specifications are, in the professional judgment of that individual, in
conformance with the Americans with Disabilities Act standards for accessible design
as provided under subsection 1. A statement of conformance must be submitted to the
department of commerce division of community services for recording.
3. After July 31, 2013, a newly designed and constructed building in excess of seven
thousand five hundred square feet [696.77 square meters] which is classified within
the state building code as assembly, business, educational, institutional, or mercantile
occupancy and required by the state building code to be accessible must include at
the primary exterior public entrance an automatic door or power-assisted manual door
