Sec. 12.
Chapter 11 is amended as follows:
(a) Add a new Section 1101.1.1, after Section
				1101.1 to read as follows: Section 1101.1.1. As a building rule, this chapter
				is necessarily limited statutorily to the scope of the rulemaking authority of
				the Fire Prevention and Building Safety Commission. As such, it is not
				comprehensive with respect to the Americans with Disabilities Act or Fair
				Housing Amendment, and what is contained in Chapter 11 does not necessarily
				constitute total compliance with federal law.
(b) Amend Section 1103.2.1, Specific
				requirements, by deleting "buildings and facilities" and inserting "Class I
				structures".
(c) Delete Section
				1103.2.2, Existing buildings, without substitution.
(d) Amend Section 1103.2.3, Employee work
				areas, by deleting "907.9.1.2" and inserting "907.5.2.3.2".
(e) Amend Section 1104.4, Multilevel
				buildings and facilities, by deleting the text of Exception 1 and inserting to
				read as follows: Exception 1. Elevators are not required in facilities that are
				less than three (3) stories or that have less than three thousand (3,000)
				square feet per story unless the building is a shopping center, a shopping
				mall, or a professional office of a health care provider. The elevator
				exemption set forth in this paragraph does not obviate or limit in any way the
				obligation to comply with the other accessibility requirements established in
				Section 1104. For example, floors above or below the accessible ground floor
				must meet the requirements of this section, except for elevator service. If
				toilet or bathing facilities are provided on a level not served by an elevator,
				then toilet or bathing facilities must be provided on the accessible ground
				floor. In new construction, if a building or facility is eligible for this
				exemption but a full passenger elevator is nonetheless planned, that elevator
				shall meet the requirements of the Indiana Elevator Safety Code (675 IAC 21)
				and shall serve each level in the building. A full passenger elevator that
				provides service from a garage to only one (1) level of a building or facility
				is not required to serve other levels.
(f) Amend Section 1106.1, Required, by
				deleting the text and inserting to read as follows: Where public or common use
				parking is provided, accessible parking spaces shall be provided in compliance
				with IC 5-16-9 and this section. Where more than one (1) parking facility is
				provided on a site, the number of parking spaces required to be accessible
				shall be calculated separately for each parking facility.
(g) Delete Table 1106.1, Accessible Parking
				Spaces, without substitution. (h) Delete Sections 1106.2, 1106.3, 1106.4, and
				1106.5 without substitution.

				delete the text and insert to read as follows: Type B units shall be provided
				in apartment houses, monasteries, and convents in accordance with Section
				1107.6.2.1.2. Type A units, in accordance with Section 1107.6.2.1.1, may be
				provided in lieu of Type B units.
(p) Amend Section 1109.5, Drinking fountains,
				by deleting the text and inserting to read as follows: Where drinking fountains
