New Jersey S822 revises signage for accessible facilities to use a dynamic icon and the word "accessible" instead of "handicapped.

New Jersey S822 revises signage indicating accessible facilities for people with disabilities. It mandates the use of a dynamic icon, depicting a person in motion, instead of the traditional wheelchair symbol. This change aims to emphasize mobility and determination. Additionally, the bill requires the word "accessible" to replace "handicapped" on all signs, placards, license plates, and other markers. This change applies to new or replacement signs and does not require the replacement of existing signs unless necessary.
