Bill > HB307

This bill amends the Pennsylvania Construction Code Act to establish new regulations for access aisles in parking spaces designated for individuals with disabilities. Specifically, the bill requires the Department of Labor and Industry to create regulations mandating that new access aisles be 96 inches wide, and that existing access aisles less than 96 inches must be expanded to this width when a parking lot undergoes restriping during routine maintenance. The bill defines an access aisle as a marked area adjacent to a disability parking space, designated by white or blue pavement markings, which provides additional space for individuals using wheelchairs or mobility devices. These new requirements are intended to improve accessibility and provide more room for people with disabilities to enter and exit their vehicles safely. The regulations will take effect 60 days after the bill's passage, giving municipalities and property owners time to plan and implement the necessary changes to their parking facilities.
