Requires all new playground areas and surfaces to comply with the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design and relevant regulations issued by the United States Department of Justice
HB 3534 requires all new playground areas and surfaces built by state or local governments to meet the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design or future Department of Justice regulations. This applies directly to public playgrounds constructed on or after the bill's effective date, ensuring they are accessible to people with disabilities. The key provision mandates compliance with these specific accessibility standards for both the playground structure and its surface materials. The bill focuses on concrete design requirements rather than broader policy impacts.

MINOR
The bill was amended to combine HB 3534 with HB 2342 into a single legislative package, and the bill number was updated from 7528H.01I to 7528H.02C to reflect this consolidation. This change streamlines the legislative process by allowing both bills to be considered together in the House Committee Substitute stage.
Scope change
The bill now covers two related pieces of legislation (HB 3534 and HB 2342) instead of just one, expanding its scope to include provisions from both original bills.
