   The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 provides access to the disabled Americans for the services and job opportunities that had long been virtually off-limits to them. Part of this broad-ranging statute provides guidelines for the design or renovation of buildings to facilitate access by the disabled. The Disability Rights Section of the U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division is responsible for enforcing ADA regulations. According to this act all bathrooms and washrooms of public area must have the accessible features for handicapped, for instance wheelchair-accessible toilet stalls, grab bars, tub and shower seats and dispensers, sinks and countertops that can be reached by people in wheelchairs. Toilet stalls designed to be accessed by those confined to wheelchairs must have a minimum clear space measuring at least 30 by 48 inches to provide adequate room for a single wheelchair. This space will help in the easy transfer of disabled people, from the washroom to the wheelchair.
