Section 508, into the public realm including business and services conducted on the internet.

• Timeline – Now
• Bottom Line – Any service that has customers in the U.S. should take immediate action
US Accessibility Law for .gov Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title II: State and Local Government • Prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities. • Section 508 • Risk – Very Critical
