Two Senate Republicans have introduced legislation that would overturn Justice Department regulations that will soon force public-access swimming pools across the country to install handicapped-accessible ramps and lifts or face a fine of up to $100,000.

The Justice Department regulations are set to take effect on Thursday, despite complaints from hotels and other organizations that the rule will require them to spend up to $9,000 to stay in compliance with the rule.

DOJ issued the rule under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). But the bill, S. 2186, introduced by South Carolina GOP Sens. Jim DeMint and Lindsey Graham on Monday, would prevent the attorney general from enforcing any rule related to public pools. . .
