N.Y. Executive Law § 101: Accessibility, rules and regulations

§ 101. Accessibility, rules and regulations. 1. The secretary of

state, in consultation with any other state agency he or she deems

necessary, shall promulgate any rules and regulations necessary to

remove the word "handicapped" from any signs or other means of

communication where such word appears.

2. The secretary of state, in consultation with any other state agency

he or she deems necessary, shall promulgate rules and regulations

necessary to require that wherever the current universal symbol of

access of a figure in a wheelchair appears, such symbol shall instead

depict a logo with a dynamic character leaning forward with a sense of

movement. Such logo shall be readily identifiable, simply designed with

no secondary meaning, and provide for equivalent facilitation and

accessibility as the current universal symbol of access. The provisions

of this subdivision shall only apply to any new signs being installed or

replaced on and after the effective date of this section.
