What it requires
- If you publish or manufacture printed instructional material for students attending a Utah state institution of higher education, provide the institution with the material in an electronic format mutually agreed upon with the institution, and provide it in ASCII text, preserving as much of its structural integrity as possible, if good faith efforts fail to produce an agreement (Utah Code 53B-23-103(1)(a) and (1)(c)).
- Make the computer files or electronic versions maintain the structural integrity of the printed material, be compatible with commonly used braille translation and speech synthesis software, and include corrections and revisions as may be necessary (Utah Code 53B-23-103(1)(b)).
- Provide the files at no additional cost and in a timely manner, on receipt of a written request that certifies the purchase of the printed material for a student with a disability, certifies the student's disability and the course in which the student is enrolled, and is signed by the institution's coordinator of services for students with disabilities or the official responsible for monitoring Americans with Disabilities Act compliance (Utah Code 53B-23-103(2)).
- If you publish or manufacture nonprinted instructional materials for students attending a state institution of higher education, provide computer files or other electronic versions on the same terms once technology is available to convert them to a format that maintains structural integrity and is compatible with braille translation and speech synthesis software (Utah Code 53B-23-103(5)).
