Bill > HB2342

This bill requires all new playground areas and surfaces constructed by the state of Missouri or its political subdivisions (such as cities, counties, or school districts) to comply with the 2010 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Standards for Accessible Design and related regulations issued by the United States Department of Justice. The bill defines "accessible standards" as these specific design guidelines, which are intended to ensure that playgrounds can be used by people with various physical disabilities. By adding a new section to Chapter 1 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, the legislation mandates that any playground areas or surfaces built after the bill's effective date must meet these accessibility requirements, promoting inclusivity and equal access to public recreational spaces for individuals with disabilities.
