Are there other laws that govern information technology accessibility?

A number of states and local agencies have adopted laws, policies, or executive orders that address one or more facets of information technology accessibility. A few states have statutes that require an access clause be included in all contracts for purchase of information technology products (hardware and software). Another handful of states have rules, policies or executive orders that require adherence to access standards for web development. Still other states have less formal guidance encouraging information technology accessibility without identification of specific access standards. Lastly, a few states have laws or policies that require electronic textbook procurement for specific educational entities. Additional information about state information technology access laws and policies and contact information for most state programs can be found on the Association of Tech Act Projects (ATAP) This link will open a new browser window.
