Accessibility Act (New Brunswick)

The Accessibility Act (French: Loi sur l’accessibilité) is the legislation concerned with the development of accessibility standards in New Brunswick to prevent and remove barriers that affect persons with disabilities.

The legislation includes accessibility standards that act as regulations under law. As each new accessibility standard is introduced, there are new requirements and deadlines for affected employers, organizations, and businesses.

The act has been in effect since December 5, 2013, and its standards were implemented through the introduction of five key areas of daily life: customer service, information & communication, transportation, employment, and design of public spaces.
