Act 1227 of 1999 required the Arkansas
Department of Information Systems to develop Non-visual Standards for Arkansas that
ensures the needs of Arkansans who are blind or visually impaired are met through
reasonable accommodation in the information technology products and services of the
state. Information technology products and services include data, voice, and video
technologies, as well as information dissemination methods such as the Internet.
|
| In essence, this means that Arkansas Government or state funded entities must have
websites that are equally accessible to blind or visually impaired visitors. For
instance, websites must provided text equivalents for all non-text elements such as
images, animation, audio and video. We will make every effort to comply with these
new guidelines on the State of Arkansas website. If you have trouble accessing or
navigating state government pages, please contact info@ark.org. |
