    Sec. 2. Statement of Findings and Purpose. The General
Assembly finds that:
    (a) Public facilities and multi-story housing units which
contain environmental barriers create a serious threat to the
safety and welfare of all members of society both in normal
conditions and in the event of fire, panic and other emergency.
    (b) Individuals with disabilities Environmentally limited
persons are often denied access to and use of public facilities
and multi-story housing units due to environmental barriers
which prevent them from exercising many of their rights and
privileges as citizens.
    (c) The integration of individuals with disabilities
environmentally limited persons into the mainstream of society
furthers the goals and policies of this State to assure the
right of all persons to live and work as independently as
possible and to participate in the life of the community as
fully as possible.
    Therefore, eliminating environmental barriers is an object
of serious public concern. This Act shall be liberally
construed toward that end.

standards for multi-story housing, the Code units shall dictate
minimum design and construction requirements to facilitate
access to and use of the common areas by individuals with
disabilities environmentally limited persons and create a
number of adaptable dwelling units in accordance with Section
5. With respect to areas within public facilities or

begin the process of updating the 1997 Illinois Accessibility
Code and shall model the updates on the 2010 ADA Standards for
Accessible Design. By no later than January 1, 2017, the
Capital Development Board shall adopt and publish the updated
Illinois Accessibility Code. The updated Illinois
Accessibility Code may be more stringent than the 2010 ADA
Standards for Accessible Design and may identify specific
standards. Beginning on January 1, 2017, if the ADA Standards
for Accessible Design are updated, then the Capital Development
Board shall update its accessibility standards, in keeping with
the ADA Standards for Accessible Design, within 3 2 years after
