Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 38, September 20, 2024

a) The purpose of this Illinois Accessibility Code (Code), as represented in Appendix A, is to implement the Environmental Barriers Act (EBA) [ 410 ILCS 25 ]. This Code is intended to establish minimum scoping and technical design requirements to ensure that the built environment in the State of Illinois is designed, constructed, and altered to be accessible to and usable by all, including individuals with disabilities.

b) This Code is also intended to resolve areas of difference between federal accessible design standards such as the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), standards for accessible design ( 28 CFR 36 (2010)) and the Code. The drafters of this Code compared and primarily adopted the stricter of State or federal accessible design standards to provide the greatest access throughout the State.
