Bill Summary
Requires State agencies to make their websites accessible to people with disabilities and on mobile devices.
AI Summary
This bill requires all State agencies, which are defined to include entities in both the Executive and Legislative branches, to ensure their websites and web content meet accessibility standards, specifically referencing the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA or the most current version published by the World Wide Web Consortium, and that this content is also accessible on mobile devices, which are defined as portable electronic devices like smartphones and tablets capable of internet access. The bill amends existing law that directs State agencies to cooperate with the Office of Information Technology to implement information technology provisions, and it removes previous requirements for certification by the Chief Technology Officer, instead mandating that agencies adopt these updated accessibility and mobile device compatibility standards for their online presence.
