Expanding the availability of adaptable housing for people with disabilities and seniors in Massachusetts.

This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws to expand the availability of adaptable housing for people with disabilities and seniors. It updates terminology to refer to "persons with a disability" instead of "physically handicapped persons" and mandates that certain areas in buildings and facilities be accessible to persons with disabilities. The bill also requires the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission to establish standards and procedures for making multiple dwellings and public buildings accessible.
