AI Summary
This bill aims to expand the availability of adaptable housing for consumers with disabilities, mobility impairments, and seniors. It amends the existing law to require that a certain percentage of units in lodging or residential facilities with 20 or more units be accessible and safe for persons with disabilities, and it establishes standards and procedures to make buildings and facilities accessible, functional, and safe for use by persons with physical disabilities, regardless of the date of construction. The bill also updates terminology, replacing "physically handicapped" with "persons with disabilities" throughout the law.
