Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 50, December 12, 2024

Section 21-70-23 - Removal of barriers; relationship to alteration requirements

(a) Except as provided in subsection (b) of this regulation, measures taken to comply with the barrier removal requirements of K.A.R. 21-70-21 shall comply with the applicable requirements in these regulations for the alteration of that element. However, the "path of travel" requirement in K.A.R. 21-70-36 shall not apply to measures taken solely to comply with the barrier removal requirement.

(b) If, as a result of compliance with the alterations requirements specified in subsection (a) of this regulation, the measures required to remove a barrier would not be readily achievable, a public accommodation may take other readily achievable measures to remove the barrier that do not fully comply with the specified requirements.

(c) Those readily achievable measures may include providing a ramp with a steeper slope or widening a doorway to a narrower width than that mandated by the alterations requirements. However, no measure shall be taken that would pose a significant risk to the health or safety of individuals with disabilities or others.
