What this law does
Section 4-13.1-3-1 directs the Office of Technology to adopt rules, under IC 4-22-2, setting information technology accessibility standards that must conform with the requirements of Section 508 of the federal Rehabilitation Act. Under section 4-13.1-3-1(d), the standards apply to the executive, legislative, judicial and administrative branches of state and local government.
An entity subject to the section that cannot readily comply with the standards without undue burden must submit a plan to the Office of Technology with a proposed time for later compliance and must provide alternative means for accessibility during the period of noncompliance.
