R895-14-6. Undue Burden to Agencies

(1) If compliance with this rule causes an undue burden to agencies; agencies may propose an alternative method of access that allows users with disabilities to use information and data. The alternative method must be submitted to the CIO in writing, and the CIO shall approve or deny the proposal in writing. (2) Accessibility Testing Protocols. The Division of Technology Services provides guidelines for accessibility testing and revises them on a regular schedule for use by agencies. Current testing protocols measure accessibility against United States Public Access Board Guidelines of 2015, including Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as amended, and W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Version 2.1, Level AA.
