What this law does
Article 7 of the Electronic Government Act lists duties of the heads of agencies and instrumentalities. One of them is that government web pages be developed through universal design under the parameters of Law 229 of 2003, so that people with or without disabilities can read them. The Act defines agencies as the bodies, instrumentalities and entities of the Executive Branch, including public corporations under its control.
As first enacted, the clause required government web pages to be designed in universal language so that assistive technology equipment of people with disabilities could recognize and access them. The Act took effect on approval.
