What it requires

• If you publish or manufacture instructional material used by students at an Oregon post-secondary education institution, give the institution the material in an electronic format when it sends a written request, signed by its disability services representative, the Commission for the Blind or the Department of Human Services, that certifies the student's print disability (ORS 337.517(1) to (3)).
• Send the electronic format within 15 working days of the request, or within that time certify the expected date of delivery and the basis of an undue burden (ORS 337.517(6)).
• Do not charge the institution for the electronic format beyond the cost of shipping and handling at ordinary commercial media rates (ORS 337.517(3)).
• Make every reasonable effort to keep the structural integrity of the original, keep the material compatible with commonly used speech synthesis and Braille translation software, and include necessary corrections and revisions (ORS 337.517(4)).
