Current through Vol. 42, No. 1, September 16, 2024
(a) OMES shall prescribe Information Technology Accessibility Standards to address all technical standard categories of Section 508 in accordance with 62 O.S. § 34.28. Information technology products covered by these standards shall comply with all applicable provisions. When developing, procuring, maintaining or using information technology products (either directly or through administration of contracts or grants), each state agency, as defined in this Chapter, shall ensure that the products comply with these all applicable standards, unless an undue burden would be imposed on the agency.
(b) These standards are effective September 1, 2005 and apply to all information technology procured, developed and/or substantially modified or substantially enhanced after the effective date of these standards, providing the procurement and/or development process was not initiated prior to the effective date.
(c) The Information Services Division of OMES shall maintain the IT Accessibility Standards.
(d) The Standards will be made available to the public at the principal office of OMES and shall be published on its respective website.
(e) When compliance with these standards imposes an undue burden, agencies shall provide individuals with disabilities the information and data involved by an alternative means of access that allows the individual to use the information and data in accordance with other applicable State and Federal laws such as Title I and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.

1 This emergency action expired before being superseded by a permanent action. Upon expiration of an emergency action enacting a new Section, the text of the Section is no longer effective. Therefore, on 7-15-06 (after the 7-14-06 expiration of the emergency action), the text of Section 260:15-1-3 was no longer effective, and remained as such until added by permanent action on 9-11-06.
