Act 1227 of 1999 required the Arkansas Department of Information Systems to
develop Non-visual Standards for Arkansas that ensures the needs of Arkansans who
are blind or visually impaired are met through reasonable accommodation in the information
technology products and services of the state. Information technology products and
services include data, voice, and video technologies, as well as information dissemination
methods such as the Internet.
In essence, this means that Arkansas Government
or state funded entities must have websites that are equally accessible to blind
or visually impaired visitors. For instance, websites must provided text equivalents
for all non-text elements such as images, animation, audio and video. We will make
every effort to comply with these new guidelines on the ADEQ website. If you have
trouble accessing or navigating our website, please contact ADEQ Webmaster.
