Bill Summary
AIM HIGH Act Accessible Instructional Materials in Higher Education Act
AI Summary
This bill, the Accessible Instructional Materials in Higher Education (AIM HIGH) Act, authorizes the creation of an independent commission to develop voluntary guidelines for accessible postsecondary electronic instructional materials and related technologies. The commission will include representatives from disability communities, higher education, and industry, and will review existing accessibility standards to identify any unique requirements not yet addressed. The guidelines developed by the commission will be voluntary and cannot be incorporated into federal regulations, but institutions of higher education must still comply with existing accessibility laws like the Americans with Disabilities Act and Rehabilitation Act.
