What this law does
All state solicitations for information technology products, whether commercial off the shelf or part of an integration offering, must include a requirement for a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT). A separate VPAT is requested for each user interface. Standards for access extend to a state contractor’s information and communication technology.
The suggested contract language has the contractor provide a description and assurance of conformance to the Missouri State ICT Standard through a VPAT or other comparable document. The suggested contract language has the contractor promptly respond to an accessibility complaint about a product its bid specified as compliant and resolve it by bringing the product into compliance with the applicable Missouri State ICT Standard at no additional cost to the state.
