What this law does
Section 10-20.75 of the School Code requires a school district, to ensure that the content of its Internet website or web service is readily accessible to persons with disabilities, to require that the website or web service comply with Level AA of the World Wide Web Consortium's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 or any revised version of those guidelines.

Section 34-18.72 of the School Code sets the same definition and the same requirement in the same words. Both sections carry the source note of Public Act 102-238, effective .
