What this law does
The Department's Digital Accessibility Policy (AC-DIG-001) applies to all State of Delaware public-facing digital assets that are developed, procured, maintained, or used while offering products, services, and online information to users, and states that employees of the State and third-party vendors shall comply with it. The Policy states that it will also be communicated to external vendors and contractors who develop public-facing digital assets for the State of Delaware.
The Policy commits the State to the World Wide Web Consortium Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level A and AA for websites and mobile applications. Each State department responsible for public-facing digital assets must provide standards conformance reports on an annual basis, including components developed by third-party vendors that are deployed on or integrated into State managed platforms or applications.
