 7 a wheelchair accessible platform swing and a high backed full support
 8 seat. For the purposes of this section the term "disability" shall have
 9 the same meaning as defined in section two hundred ninety-two of the
 10 executive law. To the extent practicable, such accessible playground
 11 equipment shall be incorporated into the layout of the existing play-
 12 ground or proposed playground plan.
 13 § 2. This act shall take effect December 31, 2027.
