We received word today about action taken by the Access Board July 28, 2010:
The policy board of the US Access Board voted unanimously in support of rulemaking to reference the new ANSI/ASA S12.60-2009/2010 in the ADA and ABA Accessibility Guidelines. Board staff will develop scoping provisions in ADA/ABA-AG style (what the standards applies to and when) and will begin immediately to work on the regulatory assessment (cost/benefit analysis) required to support the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) that will be the next public step towards an enforceable rule.
Thanks to all of you who responded to our Action Alert by writing the Access Board. Your letters made a difference!
