Establishes minimum regulations for the design and construction of new homes to provide visitability to such homes by persons with disabilities

This bill amends the real property law to require that new homes built with state or federal financial assistance be designed and constructed to be accessible for people with disabilities. The law applies specifically to single-family homes, ground-floor townhouse units, and ground-floor units in buildings with three or fewer dwelling units. Key provisions mandate an accessible entrance without steps, wide interior doors, environmental controls placed at reachable heights, and a ground-floor room and bathroom equipped with reinforced walls for grab bars and clear space for wheelchairs. While the bill excludes projects where physical site conditions make compliance unreasonable, it imposes civil penalties of up to $500 per day for violations and allows the attorney general or aggrieved parties to enforce the rules. The regulations will take effect approximately 180 days after the law is enacted and apply to any construction that begins on or after that date.
