							and through the development of certification requirements and a continuing
							education program.

							officials.

C. The Committee shall
							interview all applicants for the position of Building Official, Building
							Inspector or Alternate Building Inspector to determine whether the applicant
							satisfies the provisions of §

Current through June 14, 2024
A. As required by
							R.I. Gen. Laws §
										42-46-13,
							this Committee has adopted this standard which provides for accessible
							locations for all meetings of public bodies.
B. It should be noted that specific
							accessibility requirements for current new construction are included in Chapter
							11 of the State Building Code, Part 1 of this Subchapter. Buildings and
							additions constructed after July 1, 1977 are always required to meet the
							accessibility standards of the State Building Code in effect at that
							time.
C. In many cases due to the
							unusual restrictions and building configurations, it is strongly recommended
							that design and/or construction assistance be secured.
Rhode Island Code of Regulations › Title 510 - Building Code Commission › Chapter 00 - N/A › Subchapter 00 - N/A › Part 17 - Rhode Island Swimming Pool and Spa Code › Section 510-RICR-00-00-17.3 - Transition Plan

Current through June 14, 2024
A. A plan should
							list those facilities accessible complying with the standards established by
							the Rhode Island Building Code Standards Committee. By utilizing program
							accessibility pursuant to R.I. Gen. Laws Chapter 42-46 all meetings required to
							be open to the public are permitted to be relocated to a facility that complies
							with public meeting accessibility standards. For example, if an existing town
							hall was not accessible in a community, but a new police/fire station or school
							complied to the standards, meetings could be relocated to that site to
							conform.
B. Failure to find
							conforming space in a community would require changes to be made to existing
							structures to facilitate compliance. In this event a transition plan should set
							forth in detail all the steps necessary to complete the changes required to
							make the facilities accessible.
C.
							The plan should be compiled with the assistance of interested persons,
							including handicapped persons or organizations representing the disabled. The
							plan shall:
1. Identify physical obstacles in
							the facility that limits the accessibility of its program or activity to
							handicapped persons.
2. Describe in
							detail the methods that will be used to make facilities accessible.
3. Specify the time schedule for taking the
							steps necessary to achieve full program accessibility.
4. Indicate the person/persons responsible
							for implementation of the plan.
