The proposed "Accessibility Act" aims to enhance accessibility for individuals with disabilities by mandating that all state agency websites, mobile applications, and physical facilities comply with established digital and physical accessibility standards. By April 1, 2026, each state agency must ensure their digital platforms meet the web content accessibility guidelines 2.1 level AA, and they are required to post a website accessibility statement on their homepage. The Department of Information Technology is tasked with adopting and updating these digital accessibility standards, while state agencies must also adhere to physical accessibility standards as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act.

To oversee the implementation of this act, the Office of Accessibility will be created within the governor's commission on disability, led by a chief accessibility officer. This office will provide technical assistance, training, and resources to state agencies to ensure compliance with accessibility standards. Additionally, the office will be responsible for reporting on the progress of accessibility initiatives every two years, starting July 1, 2027, which will include assessments of compliance and recommendations for improvements. The act is set to take effect in stages, with most provisions becoming effective on July 1, 2025, and the establishment of the Office of Accessibility on July 1, 2026.
