Summary

Arizona Revised Statutes § 18-131, enacted via HB 2818 (Laws 2019, Ch. 95), requires all state agencies to develop and maintain accessibility plans for their electronic and information technology, conforming to WCAG 2.0 Level AA or successor standards. The Arizona Department of Administration (ADOA) sets accessibility standards and each agency must annually report accessibility plan status. The law requires that accessible alternatives be provided when conformance is not achievable. Enforcement is through agency self-reporting and ADOA compliance review; no private right of action created by the statute itself.
