3. If you own or operate a business that serves the public you must remove physical "barriers" that are "readily achievable," which means easily accomplishable without much difficulty or expense. The "readily achievable" requirement is based on the size and resources of the business.

When a business has resources to remove barriers, it is expected to do so; but when profits are down, barrier removal may be reduced or delayed.
