Legislative Staff Working Group On Accessibility Measures Report

"In 2019, the Minnesota Legislature established the Legislative Staff Working Group on Accessibility Measures to study the legislature's current digital accessibility measures and report back to the legislature by January 15, 2023. The law required the report to include the following components: identification of ways the legislature's accessibility measures for digital content do not meet the standards currently in place for state agencies, identification of issues and technologies that present barriers to compliance, suggestions for a compliance exception process, plans to update the legislature's accessibility measures to be comparable to that required of state agencies, and cost estimates for updates to the legislature's accessibility measures. The 2019 law also required the Minnesota Legislature to meet the same accessibility standards for technology, software, and hardware procurement that are currently required for state agencies by October 1, 2024."--Page i.
