Ariz. Admin. Code § R2-18-501 - Accessibility Standards

A. The Department shall prescribe electronic or information technology accessibility standards as authorized by A.R.S. §§ 18-104 and 18-105. Electronic or information technology products covered by these standards shall comply with all applicable provisions. The Arizona Strategic Enterprise Technology (ASET) Office of the Department shall maintain the accessibility standards and make them available to the public.

B. Each budget unit shall designate an Accessibility Compliance Representative and ensure that their products comply with accessibility standards, unless an undue burden would be imposed on the budget unit. When a budget unit determines compliance with these standards imposes an undue burden, budget units shall provide individuals with disabilities the information and data involved that allows the individual comparable access.

C. Each budget unit shall evaluate the accessibility of any proposed electronic or information technology system prior to the expenditure of State funds. The budget unit shall include the results of the accessibility evaluation in a written report maintained with the solution documentation. If applicable, the report shall include a declaration that the budget unit has determined that an undue burden or exception exists along with an explanation of the undue burden and how it was determined.
