This bill mandates that any public playground constructed on or after January 1, 2024, must include accessible pathways made from resilient solid surface materials, as opposed to loose fill or aggregate. These pathways are required to start at the playground entrance, continue to each piece of playground equipment, and extend to the playground exit. The bill aims to enhance accessibility in public playgrounds, ensuring they meet general safety standards as well as the standards set by the Americans With Disabilities Act.

The bill amends RSA 155 by inserting a new subdivision after section 82, specifically section 155:83, which outlines the requirements for public playground accessibility. The act was approved on August 4, 2023, and will take effect 60 days after its passage, with an effective date of October 3, 2023. There are no insertions or deletions marked in the provided text, as it appears to be a new addition to the existing law rather than a modification of existing legal language.
