UPDATE: 60 days to get everybody into the pool

“The Justice Department said Thursday it is delaying for 60 days a new law that requires all public pools to install ‘lifts’ or provide other means to make pools accessible to disabled individuals.

“The law was passed in 2010 and was scheduled to take effect Thursday. But in recent months, there has been widespread confusion about what sort of pools are required to make the change, whether pools must install permanent lifts or can use cheaper portable lifts and whether one lift could service more than one pool.”

Language in the regulations has no real definition: “readily achievable,” “easy,” “affordable” and etc.
