Revised ADA regulations were issued on September 15, 2010 and take effect March 15, 2011. Compliance with the 2010 Standards for Accessible Design is permitted as of September 15, 2010, but not required until March 15, 2012. The Department of Justice has prepared fact sheets identifying the major changes in the rules (available at http://www.ada.gov/). Financial institutions seeking to replace/purchase ATM equipment should review the new guidelines and check with ATM vendors for hardware and software requirements.

See American Disabilities Act for more information.
