8 CCR 1501-11.3 - [Effective 6/30/2025] Applicability
Section 24-34-802(1)(c), C.R.S. specifies that the accessibility standards for individuals with a disability as established by these rules apply to public entities as defined in section 24-34-301(18), C.R.S. Public entities must fully comply with these standards established pursuant to section 24-85-103 (2.5), C.R.S.
The rules apply to all ICT that is in active use on or after July 1, 2024 and any ICT that is newly created, developed, acquired, altered, updated, or purchased on or after July 1, 2024. The rules also apply when an accessible version of ICT not currently in active use is requested by an individual with a disability.
These rules do not require a public entity to take any action that is otherwise exempted under these rules.
Nothing in these rules shall be construed to create new obligations beyond those which already exist under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, the Exceptional Children's Education Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, or any other applicable state or federal law related to the delivery of educational programing, extracurricular activities, and related services directly to students in public schools serving students at Kindergarten through grade 12. However, such entities retain an obligation to comply with these rules for all other purposes not involving direct services to students.
