Universal Citation: 8 CO Code Regs 1501-11 ยง 2

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 17, September 10, 2024

A. The purpose of these rules is to define the accessibility technical standards and compliance parameters for individuals with a disability for information technology systems. The reason for the rules is to improve the accessibility and usability of government information technology products and services in Colorado.

B. The rules recognize that technology and accessibility standards are evolving and, given the diversity of needs of residents of our state, there is no standard that can guarantee universal access. Therefore, while making best efforts to make information technology accessible, these rules also acknowledge that reasonable accommodations or modifications are an important component of compliance.

C. The rules apply to all information and communication technology (ICT) that is both public-facing and internal-facing, that is procured, developed, maintained, or used by public entities and state agencies.

1. This information and communication technology (ICT) includes but is not limited to websites, applications, kiosks, digital signage, digital documents, video, audio, and third-party tools that are owned or controlled by the public entity.

2. The rules apply to the components of hardware that transmit information to a user or have a user interface.

D. Compliance with these rules does not necessarily ensure compliance with other laws, rules, and regulations.
