Interpretive Opinions | Go Back

An interpretive opinion issued by the DCAB is a clarification of a particular design standard, and only applies to the State and County construction projects subject to HRS 103-50. There are three parts to each interpretive opinion: the first part is the docket number which identifies a specific section from the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) and the question, the next is a summary of the background and research done, and the third contains the ruling and interpretive opinion. If you would like to receive a copy of a complete interpretive opinion, please call the Disability and Communication Access Board at (808) 586-8121 (V/T) with your name, address, and the docket number of the interpretive opinion requested.
