Bill	Update Accessibility Signage State-owned Facility	Instead of the international symbol of accessibility icon of a character in a wheelchair, any required accessibility signage in a facility must depict an accessible icon with a more dynamic character who leans forward in the wheelchair and who shows a sense of movement. This requirement applies to the construction, acquisition, or substantial renovation of any facility that contains 5,000 or more gross square feet, undertaken on and after the date the state architect obtains approval from the United States department of justice that, on a statewide basis, the accessible icon provides equal or greater access to persons with disabilities and is thus an equivalent facilitation under the federal "Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990". The state architect is required, with assistance from the Colorado advisory council for persons with disabilities, to seek this approval no later than January 1, 2021.	us/states/co	Colorado General Assembly	2020A	SB 20-039	Colorado SB 20-039 (2020A)	bill		enacted	Alex Valdez Dylan Roberts Rhonda Fields Tammy Story	10	13	4	2020-01-08T07:00:00+00:00	2020-03-20T06:00:00+00:00	openstates	ocd-bill/379b4c8f-5196-41ae-ac11-1c47f58dfe6c	http://leg.colorado.gov/bills/sb20-039	915ace3093c3417979dfa3bd057af59534c91dd63f4f4bcce9fcfebad234e85b	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-co

Colorado SB 20-039 (2020A) — Update Accessibility Signage State-owned Facility

Instead of the international symbol of accessibility icon of a character in a wheelchair, any required accessibility signage in a facility must depict an accessible icon with a more dynamic character who leans forward in the wheelchair and who shows a sense of movement. This requirement applies to the construction, acquisition, or substantial renovation of any facility that contains 5,000 or more gross square feet, undertaken on and after the date the state architect obtains approval from the United States department of justice that, on a statewide basis, the accessible icon provides equal or greater access to persons with disabilities and is thus an equivalent facilitation under the federal "Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990". The state architect is required, with assistance from the Colorado advisory council for persons with disabilities, to seek this approval no later than January 1, 2021.
