Bill overview
This bill aims to improve accessibility in New Jersey’s multistory buildings for people with disabilities. It requires building owners to provide accessible routes to and from each floor, including backup plans like evacuation chairs or ramps, particularly during elevator outages. The Division of Codes and Standards will be responsible for enforcing these rules and imposing penalties, though exemptions exist for property owners with existing contracts for quick elevator repairs or alternative access solutions. The bill also establishes programs to help building owners purchase accessibility equipment and allows municipalities to create stricter local regulations.
