What this law does
Rule 3301-51-21 of the Ohio Administrative Code governs providing instructional material to children with visual impairments and others with print disabilities that publishers list for sale with the superintendent of public instruction.
For a textbook to be listed on the approved textbook publishers list, publishers must deposit a NIMAS file set, including images of the textbook, into the national instructional materials access center for producing accessible formats before submission to the list. Publishers who list textbooks with the superintendent of public instruction are responsible for providing the wholesale price of the textbook and related print core instructional materials.
Digital instructional materials and technologies must conform to the accessibility standards of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Local education agencies are required to ensure compliance of the materials used in their schools. The rule took effect .
