It also removes public libraries from the list of places that are not included in the definition. Section two amends paragraphs (c) and (d) of subdivision (2) of section 296 of the executive law to clarify that it is an unlawful discriminatory practice for local or state government entities to refuse to remove architectural barriers where such removal does not constitute an undue burden, which is the standard set forth in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Nothing in this section would require a public entity to necessarily make its existing facilities
