The bill amends Arkansas law regarding public lodging by establishing a specific bed height requirement for mobility accessible rooms. It introduces a new section, 20-26-101, which mandates that beds in newly constructed lodging establishments must be between twenty-one inches (21") and twenty-three inches (23") in height, measured from the floor to the top of the mattress. This requirement applies regardless of whether the mattress is compressed.

For existing lodging establishments, compliance with the bed height requirement is only necessary when a mobility accessible room undergoes an upgrade or reaches the end of its life cycle. This provision aims to enhance accessibility for individuals with mobility challenges while balancing the needs of existing facilities.
