These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.
What this law does
The Office of Information Technology approves minimum standards and criteria used in approving or rejecting procurements by state agencies for adaptive technologies for nonvisual or other disability access uses.
The applications, programs, and underlying operating systems, including the format of the data, used for the manipulation and presentation of information must permit the installation and effective use of, and be compatible with, software and peripheral devices that provide accessibility to an individual with a disability.
Compliance with the procurement requirements of the section must be achieved at the time of procurement of an upgrade or replacement of existing information technology equipment or software. Article 85 does not require the installation of accessibility software or peripheral devices when the information technology is being used by individuals who are not disabled, or require the purchase of adaptive equipment by a state agency.
