On September 15, 2010, the Department of Justice issued revised regulations for implementation of Titles II and III, effective March 15, 2011.

The rules contain many new requirements for public accommodations, as well as an " element by element safe harbor ".

Public swimming pool owners and operators must gear up for compliance with the 2010 Standards for Accessible Design with regard to existing swimming pools, wading pools and spas by January 31, 2013.

The Department of Justice has published " ADA 2010 Revised Requirements: Accessible Pools-Means of Entry and Exit ", which is designed to assist pool owners and operators with understanding the new accessibility requirements, the application of the requirements and the longstanding obligations of pool owners and operators in connection with the new requirements.
