[Off topic, but of interest] Seyfarth reported on the California accessibility law <https://www.adatitleiii.com/2017/12/california-passes-website-accessibility-requirements-applicable-to-state-agencies/?utm_source=Seyfarth+Shaw+-+ADA+Title+III+News+%26+Insights&utm_campaign=371825963b-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_decb46f1f5-371825963b-72915221> "On October 14, 2017 California Governor Jerry Brown signed into lawAB 434 <https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB434>, which will create a new Government Code section 11546.7 and require, beginning July 1, 2019, state agencies and state entities to post on their website home pages a certification that the website complies with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 Level AA, *or a subsequent version*, and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.' I thought it was interesting that they planned ahead for a subsequent version. That will be helpful to file away for the future, that language for legal acceptance of versions exists in the US.
