RD357 - Information and Communications Technology Accessibility Act Annual Report – June 5, 2026
Executive Summary: Under the Information Technology Access Act, Va. Code § 2.2-3500 et seq., each executive branch agency must report annually to the General Assembly on any Information and Communications Technology (ICT) that does not conform with accessibility, as defined therein, and that is not included in the exceptions found in 28 C.F.R § 35.201 or 36 C.F.R. Part 1194, Appendix A, § E 202. Reporting agencies are required to provide an estimate of the fiscal impact involved to bring such technologies into compliance with federal and state laws and regulations. ELECT has reviewed, scanned, and analyzed the accessibility of its ICTs and the exceptions provided in federal and state law to complete the initial assessment. ELECT has identified eight ICTs that do not conform with accessibility, four of which meet the requirements for exceptions. The estimated fiscal impact to remediate the remaining four non-compliant ICTs into conformance is $128,000. ELECT plans to integrate the remediation efforts into the ordinary course of development of the non-compliant systems. |
