Administrative Directive No. 26-01, issued by the governor on to all department and agency heads, supersedes Administrative Directive No. 25-03 and consolidates and updates Administrative Directive 12-06 on accessibility to state government by persons with disabilities. Departments and agencies must ensure that all state electronic information technology conforms with the Hawaii Information Technology Disability Access Standards.

State agencies must provide auxiliary aids and services on the request of qualified individuals with disabilities, and must ensure that all contact points where the agency interacts with the public are accessible to persons with communication access needs. Each department and agency must post the notice attached to the directive, or a link to it, on its website's main page; the attached notice includes a website accessibility statement.

Each department must designate an ADA coordinator, and the directive designates the Disability and Communication Access Board to coordinate ADA compliance efforts for the Executive Branch.
