Test Your Knowledge

The recent regulatory changes to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) have raised many questions. If you’re a general manager or property owner, you should know the answers to the following:

  • Which areas are affected by the 2010 regulations? (Swimming pools, golf courses, shooting ranges, etc.)
  • How much space is now required around a toilet?
  • Does an accessible room have to be reserved solely for persons requiring the accessibility features?
  • What is the compliance deadline for adhering to the new regulations?
  • Do the new regulations affect only newly constructed properties or hotels of a certain size?
  • What resources are available to assist with the adoption of new regulations?

Get detailed answers and explanations at www.ahla.com/knowledge. And once you know the answers, you need to know what to do about it—failure to comply could result in fines or penalties.

AH&LA members can access additional, exclusive resources to assist with implementation of best practices, including a webinar, legal memos, and instructional documents. Additionally, members can have one-on-one discussions with a specialist on AH&LA’s legislative team, who can help answer questions unique to your property—just send your inquiry to AHLAGovtAffairs@ahla.com.

Here’s a hint to question #4—it’s less than a year away!
