Generally, accessibility compliance requires a pool lift or sloped entry. Under the initial rules, compliance was to be by March 15, 2012. The new rule, which is effective May 21, 2012, extends the compliance date to January 31, 2013. More information about the rule can be found at https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/2012/May/12-crt-649.html.
