## Text

Section 400.110  Purpose
a)         The purpose of this Illinois Accessibility Code (Code), as
represented in Appendix A, is to implement the Environmental Barriers Act (EBA)
[410 ILCS 25].  This Code is intended to establish minimum scoping and
technical design requirements to ensure that the built environment in the State
of Illinois is designed, constructed, and altered to be accessible to and
usable by all, including individuals with disabilities.
b)         This Code is also intended to resolve areas of difference
between federal accessible design standards such as the Americans With
Disabilities Act (ADA), standards for accessible design (28 CFR 36 (2010)) and
the Code.  The drafters of this Code compared and primarily adopted the
stricter of State or federal accessible design standards to provide the
greatest access throughout the State.
