8 CCR 1501-11.2 - [Effective 6/30/2025] Scope and Purpose

A. The purpose of these rules is to define the accessibility 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, 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) in active use, whether public-facing or internal-facing, that the public entity provides or makes available directly or through contractual, licensing, or other arrangements.

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