Everyone is asking: when will the U.S. Department of Justice adopt the July 2004 ADA & ABA Accessibility Guidelines; Final Rule as its standard? IT IS COMING!!!
The DOJ’s liaison to the Access Board reported that the DOJ has made “quite a lot of progress” on the various stages of internal review and approval. The draft final regulation has not been submitted to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, which is the final step. This final step can take up to 90 – 120 days to complete.
DOJ anticipates issuing its final regulation before the end of the current fiscal year, which concludes on September 30, 2010.
